We didn't have to trade him though.....that's the point. We didn't have a gun pointed @ our head. We could have re-worked the numbers.
But we didn't......and that was just dumb.
We could have created money.....
Nope......this was all about finding a scapegoat. And here you go.....Amari on a silver platter.
Who is going to be Prescott's next victim???
Except the team wanted to trade him and because they wanted to trade him, and the structure of his deal, it was obvious to everyone that he was going to be traded. There was no way to really hide it short of reworking the deal but if you rework the deal then you take away the incentive to trade him in the first place.
For all the talk of scapegoating, he was not putting 20m a year numbers. He was the 3rd option in the receiving game. That is not what he is paid to be and if he cannot be that he was going to be gone and this is now the second team that Cooper has been on where he looked great early on and then fell off a cliff in a hurry.
