it's not a doomsday scenario, it's puzzling. it's not the first time sam has gone bonkers for fringe prospects before. we all remember semaj christon getting a roster spot over ronnie price (who was paid for two seasons to not be here). or josh huestis. this just seems another in a long tradition that's difficult to make sense of. it's not the end of the world, it's just bizarre and outwardly inexplicable.
cutting singler? now that would be astonishing.
I don't think stretching. Singler would be shocking. And you seem to be remarkably pessimistic about a guy owed next to nothing who's a fringe prospect traded for a guy owed nothing who was a fringe prospect. It's a nothing trade. And given they don't have much on the way of young players adding one is whatever. Maybe he plays for the Blue.
my pals in the backgammon league call me the 'b.s. detector'. i'm impossible to bluff. when things don't make sense to me i want to sniff out the clues and get to the truth.
the money changing hands from dakari to purvis to nader just doesn't make sense with the facts on hand. the trade makes no sense. i think david might agree with me unless the twitter verse has poisoned him with hot takes. one of the qualities i prioritize for leaders is that they do things that make sense.
