As of today, I think Oli probably stays. But I think it gets interesting if someone like...say...Kevin Cash hits the market.

I'll bet Bloom wants to catch as much talent in his search for a replacement as possible, including not just a new manager, but also any coaches outside the org who might be available. That would probably lead him to announce Oli's departure as soon as the regular season ends.

60% chance Oli is let go within 4 days of the end of the regular season.

40% chance he is kept for next season considering the season won't even be completed and there is a decent chance the following season is wiped out, or at least severely impacted (81 games or fewer).

Why hire a guy and give him an X-year contract when the first year is a full re-build\unfinished season and the second year isn't played or is a joke partial season?

The more I think about it, the more it's starting to make sense to keep him, barring some sort of CBA miracle.
