Johnny's family though, and the pandemic --- I think it was unavoidable. Johnny and his agent, just didn't identify their new landing spot well enough during the courting and then July 1st courting period. Causing that unnecessary strife, drama.
You also have to take into consideration Tre trying to sign Johnny at a discount the summer before. I think that's where Tre really fumbled the bag.
