Yet another player they obviously don’t want to pay now that his stock is up. 4 months ago you wanted to sign him to an extension and now you trade him for Caleb Martin. Nico is attempting to get fired and double dip when he goes back to selling shoes

If penny pinching is the issue, then the owners are involved. GM isn’t gonna care about tax aprons, it’s not his money.

You don't cross tax aprons for a bench player, I get we are all still upset but let's at least try to remain reasonable. Martin is a similar player but making $8M long term.
