Will the Blazers amnesty Roy? Should they amnesty Roy?

I just don't follow this logic at all.

Roy gets his MAX contract no matter what. It is like buying a car for cash up front.

Let's say you buy a sports car with cash up front. Money is gone.

Now, you blow a gasket. Take it to shop, they fix it, but say it will never be the same, likely get worse over time.

Do you give the car away for free just to save the cost of storing it in a garage and the insurance? (lux tax)

Do you keep the car and take it on some drives and see if you enjoy the ride - then give it away if the car craps out or doesn't give you enjoyment any longer?

 

I think if I could get back the money I would have spent on it had I kept it, as well as freeing up money to buy a good reliable car I would get rid of the car now. Also give me a chance to see if the other really nice cars I already own can run better now that I don't have to focus time on the broken down car that will never be the same. Maybe now I can supercharge the other cars and make them all better?

 

I like your analogy!

So I have a restriction and could only own a single car. I have a couple hundred grand sitting in the bank. I can’t legally sell the car since it has a bad title. The car is a headache and needing to go to the shop often, it breaks down on me. But when its’ running its one of the faster cars on the road and a joy to drive, but its in the shop 50% of the time and I have to take the bus instead. I’d ditch the car and get something that I know will get me from point A to point B daily.
