Soooooo….are we tanking?
Him big, him vetrun, him liked by Tortswhy...what is the obsession with Eric Johnson. WHY
BUT yeh, if I am Ronnie Attard at this point I am like "what the f*** do I have to do". They just keep blocking him and finding ways for him not to play even when he plays well when given a chance.
He’ll get his chance, the odds of both Drysdale and Fisto staying healthy are right up there with the odds of someone winning the Powerball jackpot.I dont care "that" much about Johnson being re-signed in a vacuum... he sucks these days and will be paid too much but he will be the #7 in theory.

Even as an organization, finding out what you have has value. If Attard falls on his face, fine. You still made a more informed decision.
Maybe you can explain this to your friend CharlieYeh. Not letting young guys play is awful asset management for a re-building team.
Hell, even if internally you dont like him? If he plays 60 games and gets like 20 points with 18 minutes a night and some PP2 time? He is probably worth given his age like a late 2nd round pick (or a 3rd+) at the deadline if even ONE team thinks he helps them. Which as a bigger righty is likely.
It’s even worse than that because Attard was actually a pretty good draft pick too. You have a guy you drafted in the 3rd round who had solid potential and then progressed reasonably well… and you’re just going to hold him back instead of giving the pick a chance to actually pay off? What is that plan? Maybe if he was an undrafted free agent, I could shrug, but they actually developed this player!Even as an organization, finding out what you have has value.

Guentzel 7x9 lol
My favorite rebuilds are the ones where guys who are 25 years old need more development.
