I did the same.

Don't. Pay. For. The. Product.

It's better than allowing players to dictate to the GM that they need to be moved for peanuts or else become a "distraction."

And I’m not.

They took a deadline deal in the offseason because “culture” and “distraction.” This is bordering on consumer fraud.

The Bills had that approach for years and we know how it shook out. Every single time they tried to outsmart the rest of the league it blew up in their faces.

Tbh girth is more important than size.

They are the worst team in the league and probably the worst-run professional sports team in the Big Four. They literally could not have gotten less far.

Maybe not. But he literally was the only guy they’ve had in five years who was willing to play in front of the box.

They’re probably hoping to replicate what the Bills did, tearing it down to the studs to build “culture first,” then slowly adding pieces who buy into that culture. The problem is that you need to acquire the right pieces and have a plan to evaluate and develop them. You need a quality scouting program and you need to hit on several key acquisitions. Not sure they’ve got the right team for that approach.

This is sort of like how there is no 13th floor.

So I’m thinking a pick in the 13-14 range this year, plus a future, plus a player.

Risto looked the same under multiple coaches with different styles of play and systems - I don’t see much more there to be “unlocked” but best of luck Philly.
