Quote: Along the lines of what you mentioned, the closer a player gets to Free Agency, the greater the chance he will want to test Free Agency.

^That is so very true.


If this thing doesn't improve next season or two, and frustration is still running high, there's a really strong chance that players will go elsewhere. Why wouldn't they? There's something to be said for loyalty, I guess. But, a lot of these guys will bolt if it's still a frustrating, three-ring circus going on.


-AROB boiling over.

-Malik being "humbled" by being here.

-Ramsey with tears on the sidelines after losing

-Telvin holding meetings to try and "right the ship" with a winning attitude.


Players won't stick around in a mess like this for very long (if they have any choice in the matter).


I'd hate to see some of these guys leave later (especially some of the young defensive core like Ramsey, Telvin, Yannick, Jack, etc.)
