- What was the final push behind the McNair deal getting locked in now?
- “Monte’s representation was pushing–with Monte’s blessing–to get something done.”

- Is there a chance that any members of Sacramento’s front office could go elsewhere?
- Will McNair’s new deal affect his decision-making when making trades or deals with long-term ramifications?
