You can wish all you want that we didn't sign him, but that's not reality. Gotta work with what you have. I doubt management wants to buy him out after this year, so management should absolutely try their best to make a fit for him. Until Neal gets to a point where he is complete trash and worthy of a permanent benching / buyout, that is the most rational thing to do.

And what determines that? He's already not producing and he's costing the team in the defensive side of the game.
