Half of the fans had him traded to Philly for Morgan Frost and other junk. Johnny's value was as low as it could be at that point it would have been a fire able offence to sign a guy pacing at 60 points for the type of money he was commanding.

That’s why you have a GM and don’t let fans run the team. It was an error in hindsight . I’m not sure why you can’t acknowledge that.
Lots of team lock up younger players for what fans think are overpayments . Some work and some don’t . Some GMs decide not to “overpay” and it can be a smart or poor decision
With JG it was a mistake
