Love fans that think that because they watched more of the games that they have a more valid opinion.
Anyhow, regardless of whether Neal bounces back, which I certainly do not think he does, his contract can be bought out. You just give him one more year and then buy him out. If that was untenable because of locker room issues, as has been alluded to from many sources, then you just buy him out now and be done with it. You don’t lock yourself into a worse contract for an equally bad player.
