There’s financial flexibility considerations to factor in, that all.
We aren’t in an ideal place to take on dead money hits, like most teams, but our constraints are in a lot tighter spot at the moment.
Some want us to bite the bullet now, others prefer to wait until things are a little less tight (next year) to make the move while also buying us time to (hopefully) have the replacement firmly in place.
It’s a legitimate, debatable predicament; even I’ll acknowledge that.
