If he offered a long term 5 mil per year deal it would have been easier for the Avs to match. If he offered 6.5 per year (which he couldn't offer given our draft picks) the compensation would have been more, and it wouldn't have been as good of a deal as a 1st and a 3rd. The offer sheet by Feaster was perfect
I am shocked that the Avs matched the offer sheet. I think that it cripples them as a franchise, and they are going to be a divided team for 365 days, not to mention they might have to go through this again in a year (after paying ROR 8 million spiteful dollars). Every RFA they sign now is going to ask for more money going forward. Terrible GM'ing by them
Solid move by Feaster all around
