The funniest thing I have read about this saga when it is being reported Darnell won't expand his 3 team trade list.. At the end of the day, you have a situation where you asked to trade the player and he said no, then he thinks, "Well if you don't want me then trade me but since I control the hammer, I only want to go to these 3 teams" Blundering Bowman: "You, uhh, you, uhh, you need to expand your trade list" Nurse: "No" Local Sports Media: "You have to trade Nurse, you MUST trade Nurse, Nurse has to go" Fans: "It's time but smh if he doesn't go o'ell" What a farce.

We get to pick between 21 teams next summer, so guess that is the only threat we can give him. He has a chance this year to pick his spot among maybe 5 or 6 teams. Next summer he is just at the mercy of which of 21 we send him off to.

Be picky and obnoxious now and you might have to enjoy a year of shame, being called out by media/fans all season long for every mistake after you were a punk asking for a trade but not accommodating the team at all, and then get tossed away to any crappy team we please next summer. Or maybe don't be an idiot this summer, and still get to go to a nice spot and start your career reboot.
