That is silly to me as well, go through all that trouble to build the player and all that, just to coast it for big cash in some smaller team that is more than likely not going to go all the way. (Guessing smaller with offer like that)

Going to hire unbanned Gorlab to be my agent this off-season for free agency.

Go after the cup at least, who cares about money - I thought we all play to win?

The one time a media piece actually generates conversation, and you want to kick it out? SHAME, IZZY. SHAME.

Back in the day I did a free agency lottery where I ranked every team that sent me a contract offer, then gave them a certain amount of balls in the lottery depending on the rankings.

Did a live broadcast to the GMs and actually signed with the team that won. I believe it was the blizzard who were ranked fairly low on my rankings.

Good times

Actually I only accepted league minimum from everyone. I was crazy rich at the time.

I believe WPG was the only team that didn’t submit an offer Tongue @Leafs4ever

I mean if you’ve already had some successful seasons and just need some money it’s totally reasonable

I traded often. I traded for nothing even. I traded my soul. I’m a devout trader.

Serious note, I liked the original article. Numerous times as a GM in any league I have had players wanting to test FA. I typically traded them a good amount of the time... then told “I wasn’t going to leave.”

My take was always what was best for the team... and up until the stupidity of the S37 offseason I endured, Portland was on a good path with back to back Finals appearances. Don’t fuck with salaries is my only suggestion... oh or trade for Crutchfields rights @ligma <3
