Perpetual Mediocrity
Might as well get this going now.
It's worth doing. But I definitely would balk at anything lower than Askarov's pick value. MAYBE if a really good guy drops to #9-10-11-ish I'd take a pick in that range for him. But it has to be a guy who is really bluechip in terms of the whole package and is basically as "can't-miss" as it gets. I definitely don't see any other team trading that kind of pick for Askarov. If they do, I'd say they're crazy. It never hurts to ask, though.That feels like Barry just crossing his fingers and throwing up a prayer to get a high end pick for Askarov. He'll never admit it, but twice in a row he's tried to use him to move up feels desperate.
Actually, it feels like a pointed comment to MontrealThat feels like Barry just crossing his fingers and throwing up a prayer to get a high end pick for Askarov. He'll never admit it, but twice in a row he's tried to use him to move up feels desperate.
Guess that's why he could say earlier he wasn't trading him, he already knows no one is dumb enough to give it to him.Yeah I think Trotz plans to keep him unless someone gives a stupid overpayment. He couldn't get a top 5 pick for Askarov last year and he won't get one this year
Probably a minority view but I’d be happy with Connelly if Barry and Co do their due diligence and conclude he is in the range of multiple other entitled alpha pampered non-rapist kids.
Jiricek if he’s still available would be great. Ditto for Hage. Should be some interesting options.
Can't say posing in front of swastikas was ever cool or funny to me but whateverIf it wasn't for the Athletic (owned by The NY Times) making Connelly's indiscretion(s) seem like a crime against humanity , it would be a nothing burger.
Thank God social media wasn't a thing when I Was 14.
of course its dumb, but its not like he has ever espoused Nazi RhetoricCan't say posing in front of swastikas was ever cool or funny to me but whatever
I don't really think it should end his career aspirations and it doesn't seem like it will but pretending it shouldn't be considered is dumb
