Clean Hits on Substack
Yes. I do. I just listened to Armstrong on the local radio a minute ago and they asked him if he felt pressured to deal Chychrun or if he get keeping him was an option. He answered by saying he wasn’t pressured at all, but he never came anywhere close to saying he’d think about keeping him. He always answers the same way; he’s going to look for ways to improve the team. But he NEVER hedges and says, but Jakob is a great player, and ultimately our preference is to keep him. Nothing like that ever. Says to me he’s close to getting what he wants from someone and he’s confident he’ll extract that last little bit he needs to do the deal. When he talks about it, h seems supremely confident that it will get done.out of curiosity... do you think they actually move Chychrun?
Now juxtapose that with how he talks about Gostisbehere and Crouse. He makes it clear they’re lot going anywhere. Jokes that the coaches would mutiny and kill him if he even thought about it. Etc. Again, a guy who sounds like his mind is made up.
