    So then getting ANY veterans means doing the same thing by your logic?

    That's pretty stupid.

    Anyway, back to us losing our franchise player because of our organizations ineptitude.

    Maybe once Dame hears your guys' thoughts on Florida he'll back out of his decision

    Olshey put this franchise in a position which couldn't be remedied overnight. And while Cronin may or may not be a good GM, everything has to run through Bert Kolde.
    There is plenty of blame to go around.

    They were the only state that didn't have MASS job losses of people's livelihood's and homes because they didn't go along with the idiotic and WORTHLESS (actually actively bad) lockdowns which lead to sky rocketing rates of cancer and other diseases that went untreated, loss of jobs, loss of homes due to loss jobs and endless knock on effects. It's like people just believe the hype/media and never do even one iota of research except on sports. People on here might be vastly beyond me for sports, but ya'll saying Florida sucks have completely missed the boat on the past 3 years, what happened, why and what's going to happen as they openly state it.

    I say this as a person who is literally illegal in Florida: if the oppression doesn't affect Dame; why should he care? If you're expecting some soft-hearted empathy from Dame, that he'll take some sort of ethical stand that doesn't also benefit him, you're going to be disappointed. And honestly I don't expect that from any player who isn't directly affected. That's the biz.

    Darn those African slaves for their divisiveness that caused the Civil War and then 150-plus years of the sons of the Confederacy wanting to win the peace.

    Maybe he did it on purpose. If he doesn't tank the offers, no team could give up near equal value and still be a contender.

    The draft will be just fine. No Wemby or Scoot, but players will emerge and by, say, March, the draft will feel like almost every other one. If we're bad, we'll get a very very good prospect from the draft. It looks like there is a nice batch of 6'8"+ guys projected in the top 10, which would be nice based on how our roster seems to be shaping up moving forward.

    The future is bright, and can't wait to see this young squad develop. So much potential as is, and now we add to it. Be fun to see who takes the reigns...Obviously, Scoot seems to have the alpha gene, but this opens the door for Sharpe. This is what makes the game fun. Happy for Chauncey as well.

    Give it a rest. It's been two years. Every player on this roster right now is because of Cronin. Every contract and extension was given by Cronin.

    But I agree, as with anything, the rot starts from the top. We desperately need new ownership.

    But you stand by what others said? Wow Blazersedge 2.0. Either ban political speech across the board (I'd love that btw), or just admit you want this site to be yet another Partisan Dem site. Feel free to delete ALL political posts, but if you only delete the ones you dislike well, I can just leave the board. I'm done with this stuff. This is America, we have something called freedom of speech and if you're going to go down the road of censoring anyone who disagrees with the DNC, then I will gladly leave. I'm done with that trash.
