The last 2-3 years in a 7-8 year deal being risky is just the cost of signing UFAs as the majority of UFA deals around this age are going to look bad.

Yeah. I still don’t think we should be entertaining more of those give. We’ve already made those mistakes and are stuck with them. Fans just never learn. I’d be fine with one of them (him specifically) if we didn’t already have four or so strapped but the reality is we do. And soon enough if any of the younger guys need to be paid we get to the position of lowballing and pissing them off. We have an opportunity to get great assets back and get younger here. Not sure why were aren’t taking it when we aren’t going anywhere notable in the next couple years. Sounds like Murray likes the circle jerk up there surrounded by yes men who say this team is on track for greatness.
