I’m with you on not wanting Ayton, but the only thing we have to go on is the report that what we offered was underwhelming (to put it nicely). Everyone knows I would have included the 27 in order to save the Green or Hardy inclusion for the Capela deal.
I love Capella, and I think he would help a lot. I don’t think it would be wise to give up any of those three assets in exchange for him, however, nor do I believe Capella would make ENOUGH of a difference, short term, to justify such a sacrifice. Maybe if all questions other than Lively were answered, but the way things are now, I’d much rather just see how the team gels. With so much turnover recently, what we think they need might not actually be what they need.
Besides, we don’t actually KNOW that they could get either of those guys. It’s possible the cost was far greater than even you’d be willing to pay.
Just seems like a silly reason to be down on the things the actually DID, because those were mostly impressive things.
