Wasn't that case with Phil Jackson and Lakers when he was "moved to advisory role" just to find out years later he was nothing but fired and everything else was them doing nice PR ?

Who else is moved to senior advisor ? Kupcheck on Hornets, who was also- defacto-fired with new ownership taking over. They probably get some check for this "position" but they aren't doing anything.
I mean Doug Collins has been "doing this job" for Bulls for 5 years.

I wish someone would move me to “Senior Advisor” and I would collect paychecks for a year before I realized I was out

Honestly, from what I remember about end-of-career Phil…I’m pretty sure I work harder at this than he did. Creating mantras and handing out self-help books only looks genius when you’ve got MJ or Kobe…not to mention Tex Winter.
