Maybe tre has a other blockbuster to.reverse this but I don't think so.
For sure it started with that deal and the subsequent on ice play.

This just digs the hole a WHOLE lot bigger though and for a variety of reasons.

Again this is just a bad contract (Neal) being put on steroids.

Truly feels like a move out of desperation and those very rarely ever work out
