I'm against buyouts almost every time, but that is a different issue.

I don't think anyone would have predicted that Neal would drop off that much. Yes, it ended up being a terrible signing and is why it's wise to wait and see before declaring any signing is a win or not. In the moment though, it was justifiable.

I can go outside for a walk and if I get hit by a car, does that mean that it was a bad decision in the moment? I mean, sure it ended up being a bad decision, but you can't predict if other humans are going to crap the bed on you. The Neal signing turning out to be bad is on Neal more than Treliving.
