Smart move if you ask me Kahn honestly wasn't going to get them to the next level if you ask me as the GM (even though Sauders doesn't have much exprience in that regard).

Saunders has already been GM for the Wolves and had to step due to some irregularities with the Joe smith deal

Not picking up an option is not firing.
