I can't argue with that in a sense. Lucic isn't worth what he's getting paid.
But I just don't get the crowd that focus so much on Lucic and his contract as if there was an option to not have Lucic but still move Neal. Clearly there wasn't.
The "no talent guy with a contract that handicaps the team in addressing more pressing needs" ship sailed with the Neal contract, not the trade.
