I stand by my comments that there weren't any excuses. But again, meh, #### happens.
Still doesn't address the issue of cap space. Still doesn't prove there was any real interest in Cammy. And basically your saying Burke should have known months before hand that the offers at the deadline were going to be weak when usually that is when you get overpayments. Tell me exactly how he was suppose to know this months before and find a trade partner willing to clear cap space to land a player who has a history of injuries and was having a terrible season.
