No Cups

I dislike how the media and fans say you must trade a player because he wants out..

If he's signed for a number and term on his contract, doesn't report to camp, then he sits and we move on.. if he wants back let him but in that uniform.

Too many players are weaponizing their NMC's to pick their landing spots. When you are a UFA sure go wherever, but you got term and you no longer like it.. discretely ask for a trade and sure go to the media but you're staying in that uniform until the team let's you go.

They didn't have to move him and he may have been a distraction but for what they got for Halle was small and make the team trade at the point of weakness.

These are your choices if you are a player who wants out with term on their deal:
The player can sit out - fine no pay
The player can play to the best of their ability until a deal comes around.
The player can purposely suck but they would hurt themselves
The player can shut up and provide his list if no deal can be had, wait.

As soon as the player starts making loud waves to weaken the teams ability to get value, he should suffer in kind.



The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.
