tbh I wish we got both
We can just buy the last two years out at like a 1.5 million cap hit. While that isn't ideal....it isn't exactly sky is falling scenario either lol might as well just enjoy the good years and deal with the drop off when it comes.
He would be 3.83m, 3.83m, 333k, 333k over 4 years if we bought him out with 2 years remaining. Can't really buy him out to save money.
They are in the context of the current team. If they win one or two Cups during the first four years of this deal, do you think anyone will care about having to lose a second round pick to trade the last two years of Tanev's contract if it comes to that? I get that you are pre-disposed to trying to find fault with Treliving, and in some cases there are legitimate reasons to take that position, but not when it comes to Tanev's contract relative to his impact on the team.
I'm not the one pre-disposed to anything. I call it like it is, and I've complimented Treliving on things that warrant it. My position on giving significant money and term to players through their late 30s and 40s has not changed. The issue isn't even Tanev. But the 6 years through age 40 is an issue, and it is absolutely relevant. We can't buy him out for savings. You can't just randomly assume that we're not only going to win 2 cups in the next 4 years, but that we're going to win 2 cups in 4 years specifically because we signed Tanev for 6 years (and that also somehow makes everything else irrelevant). You can't assume that you can just dump him and his full NMC at your preferred cost at your preferred time, and that's still a cost anyway. No matter if you think the consequences are worth it, and no matter what potential scenario you dream up, it doesn't change that the term is relevant.
