Don't even bother questioning what we would've got for Betts, been proven a million times over. And let's not question the wasted 700k_ per year of our cap. The whole thing has been a terrible error. Only those with an agenda would even bother continuing on with your argument. Just let it go, dud decision made for all the wrong reasons = dud result. EOS.
Not acknowledging it, i already covered it. We never had it.
What is to say that if we didn't take daisy we weren't going to taks someone else via free agency?
You ASSUME we were getting a first round compo. You ignore the possibility that we could've got someone else.
Again, hindsight.
How many people were happy with trading Fev? I was, and i was in the minority.
How many people were happy once fev capitulated and we became clear winners in the deal? With the benifit of hindsight, things appear a lot different.
How many people were happy with trading pick 7 away for pick 19, KJ and Whiley? again, i was in the minority.
How many people are happy with Boeky now and how we appear to be clear winners in that deal now? Hindsight.
You cannot get every deal right. Fact.
We didn't get the daisy deal right. Still playing out, but looking like a fact at present.
Was it worth the chance? Yes, and i'd do it all again tomorrow given the chance because the next one might turn out better ala Judd.
