Not taking it as a slap, but think the Sabres have had too many peoplw jerk them around and cant afford for him to wait till August 15 on a maybe. Not good business for them. Especially if he is trying to play it like an NBA guy. He has a bird in hand that to my eye, obviously dont know what his preferences are, but is a good if not great fit. If that is not where he wants to be then the Sabres. need to determine it fast and move on.
