Former Sky coach/general manager James Wade built the Sky up to levels the franchise hadn’t reached since being founded in 2006.
His hasty departure — four games before the midpoint of the rebuild he propelled the franchise into — for an assistant coaching position with the Toronto Raptors marks the team’s descent to a new low. Wade bears the brunt of that reality, leaving the 7-9 Sky to pick up the pieces left by his failings as general manager.
