So what does everyone think? I have a couple of thoughts:
I think Clay was totally in the right to ask for a sketch of what the mural might look like. With a room that size a mural is going to a BIG part of the decor and dare I say a focal point so I can't fault him in making sure the CONTENT (which I'm sure is his main concern) is appropriate for the event.
The Magic Johnson footage, keep the footage up to the point where Magic turns from the camera and then use the audio and add graphics and/or footage from things/events related to the MJ Foundation. It might not be what they were envisioning but it's still salvageable.
