Naw. It was a done deal by Krause and Jerry. Krause ( and somewhat Jerry) wanted to prove that he could win without Phil and Jordan. Krause already stated that executives build championship teams. Krause wanted Phil gone, and Jordan stated that he wasn’t going to play for another coach. It was a wrap. Krause had Tim Floyd lined up even before the start of the season.

Basically, everyone was tired of each other.

Rodman went to the lakers as a FA
Kerr went to the spurs
PIp was traded to the Rockets.
Jordan retired


But at the same time Jerry Krause is probably the greatest gm of all time, whether you like him or not. Dude found gems and knew how to draft to compliment Jordan and didn’t give in to his demands like the GMs of this era.
