That is the thing. Your post is sarcastic but the fact is this isn’t a surprise to anyone so why are people getting upset now?
The reason this happened is because the free agent signing last summer that was pretty much universally panned turned out to be better than we all imagined.
I remember last offseason stating the best case scenario for Tanev was he played well enough to be selected by Seattle. I would have never in my wildest dreams thought Gio would be lost to Seattle because either he was going to be protected or he was going to regress to the point he wouldn’t be selected.
