Well no, I am not talking about the bits of all these trades. I don't really discuss such details because it's foolish. We dont know what is being offered and what is being available. Trade proposal discussions are not my thing.
What I did say is that Tre told us his plan. Big mean team.
7 years later they are anything but.
So all I am saying is that 7 years ago he had a vision.
Today, the team is not what he wanted. I am sure we can agree here?
So what's the excuse? He couldn't find a perfect forward on a perfect contract that he could plunk off waivers? Is that the bar we have for him?
That's what it sounds like, because some of you provide nothing but imaginary trade pieces needed or other excuses to show that acquiring any good players would have been a bad move. It's always an overpayment or something else. Except for the ones he does manage to complete. Those are good deals
I am just a fan. Build a good team already. How? Not my problem.
We have the money to spend to the cap.
Players, good and bad get moved. Trades happen.
Plenty of UFAs in the last few years.
So what's his problem?
I say he overvalues his players and gets cold feet when its time to pay up. You don't have to agree with that.
