It must be a factor. Dinwiddie got an extension last summer, and the club also re-signed Donovan and some other assistants. Chances are some, if not all, of them got a raise. That money has to be found elsewhere. Losing Alex Russell, assuming he's not replaced by someone at same salary, would help financially (albeit likely hurts in terms of player evaluation and recruitment).
