Oh, spend the cap and bring in the players, every time. Saving the money you need for rookies/injury pool, use your damned resources If you want to use them to extend a player that actually needs extended? That's fine, so long as you're using it up. Unless you absolutely have one in the pocket, a trade you are quite certain will happen, it makes no sense not to.
As to your "WTF" am I talking about? I highlighted it for you. You don't think it's a bad idea for our GM to set aside resources for moves that never happen. You're good with him sitting on a pile of cap space for...nothing at all, because he thought he could do something but didn't pull it off. Don't "WTF" me. You knew exactly what I was talking about. It's the same with the OG he tried t sign. He doesn't get credit for identifying a need and then not filling it adequately (note that he still has time to fill the hole). He doesn't get credit merely for trying to sign the guy, and he can't possibly get credit for setting money aside for a big trade if he never makes a big trade. That's crazy land logic.
I can WTF you all that I want... Just like you can make up narritives out of thin air in order to call people sycophants.
So let me say it again. WTF are you talking about??? Where in this discussion is it about giving credit for trying.
It's very simple. Do you want the team to have the option to add better players. Yes or no.
Judging from your response, it seems you would prefer that Monti had structured the deals evenly and used up all the cap space already. Adding a veteran G or CB - Not possible. Trying to trade for players post draft or in season - not possible. And that is the moronic position that you prefer?? Seriously? WTF?
Year after year of complaining about not spending enough to better the team. This year the team is top 3-ish in spending (was #6 before McBride) and Monti creating more space to spend even more and you do a 180 and said that he shouldn't create space to have the possibility to better the team.
Even if Monti decide to add ZERO players it's a good idea.
1. The team has the same amount of cap space next year with less needs to fill.
2. You seem to have this belief that unused cap space goes into a black hole and disappears - saving Bidwill money. That is not the case. This enables Monti to spend more Cash than cap space.
3. Monti uses the unused cap space. Last season the unused cap space was used to moved the garanteed money for Budda, Conner and Froholdt to 2024 instead of taking cap space in future years. So if Monti doesn't trade or sign someone, it's just right pocket - left pocket money. Zero impact.
