Lucic the (retained) contract for Neal the contract should have resulted in a bigger sweetener, something like a top 20 protected first or two seconds or similar would have been what I was expecting, or at least way more retention (2mil+).
I don’t think it moves the needle, but for taking on the additional contract risk there should have been a bigger reward, or less risk.

Who the hell was going to give you a pick never mind a first fir Neal. This was a tie as to who has the bigger stinker except your asking for gold for a turd. Considering we got looch out if this not sure why people are hanging on to the delusion that neal was going to return anything nevermind a top 20. LOOCH is what neal was worth. Period.
