Absolutely. I understand that this may be a new provision and not something there may be a precedent for, but as our GM I expect him and/or his staff to be at the forefront in understanding the new CBA as to being able to exploit technicalities and better position this team going forward.
This move shows that Feaster and/or his staff do not understand the new CBA, and although I'm a huge fan of the statistical movement allegedly going on it's just as important to have a "capologist" or a rigorous understanding of the cap to maximize this teams talent.
Additionally calling O'Reilly a franchise player is ludicrous. He's an excellent number 2 that is acceptable as a first line centre but he's not someone you build around. Losing a first and a third, having already lost a 2nd would leave us in awful condition....and although it's improving we're still weak going forward.
