Reset is not possible

Are y’all really in that much denial? Not signing players because you are 70 million over the cap isn’t a reset, it’s a reality. Mickey reminds me of what my dad used to say about my mom’s family. They don’t have 2 nickels to rub together. Mickey has maxed out the credit cards and is broke because of it. The only way to get more money is to make it. Mickeys strategy is bad contract after bad contract with max void years on the back end. I’ll say this again, we’re the only team that operates like this year in and year out. Not because Mickey and Harley are number savants. It’s because the other teams are smart enough to know better.

Sorry but this is just not correct. We intentionally DIDN’T max out our restructures this year. We could have done a lot more but decided it was better worth it to get things back in order.

There is no denial…just go study the numbers. More cap space was available, Mickey said before the off-season that we were going to turn down the aggression for this year. Not sure how much more black and white those facts could be.

The heavily regurgitated “maxed out credit card” analogy is tired, played out, and has never properly described what is going on.

I have never heard of a credit card that has virtually guaranteed resets and increases every year and allows you to borrow endlessly from those guaranteed resets and increases and also be over the limit in unlimited fashion in those endless future years, but that’s just me.
