If you believe in buy low, sell high (we don’t) then 1/3 of our roster has been here 1-2 years too long. There’s no trade value for any of our older players. That’s why you don’t operate like that. Those are mistakes made by a GM. Fan shock/anger absolutely factors into those decisions in a small city like Buffalo.
Perfect example is White. He should’ve been traded before he even got injured, like well before, when he was at peak value. He was already at his ceiling. We missed badly on that one and you do that a few times and there’s your difference in staying good and not staying good for long.
Theres people on Reddit and probably here too that want/expect Diggs to play here two more full seasons. lol.
