Funny how folks seem to be making a mountain from a mole hill. I’m no Rob advocate but I don’t think we got burned in this. A future second round pick for nothing (Houston signed DFS using cap space, I believe) and I’m puzzled why folks are grasping at a player exception or, crazier still, a second round pick.
Anyhow, I get it that losing DFS for nothing sucks. It continues a troubling trend of the Pelinka front office, to be sure. But this wasn’t bad GMing, the player seemed to want to truly
move on. That’s it. I’m not going to see the Lakers pursue every chum and pal of Luka and call that intelligent.
It’s a bummer, yes, but that’s about it.
