Obviously you're not getting the point
High level they signed a younger, hyped up DMAN with solid potential at far less term and money than and I dont want to put Gio down cuz I love him but he's aging and he hasn't strung together enough in his career to warrant the money he's asking for, period.
Even if they didn't intend to send that message, they just did... it's business
