Quoting: SK101
There’s not a team in the league that would take 31 year old rakell signed for 4 more years over laine at 6 million. Talk about delusional
the only delusional aspect here is you popping off about how injury is the guys only problem.
Again he played 18 games last year. At least rakell played 70 last year and isn't in a players assistance program.
Laine has more red flags on him that you can count. Including two issues with two different teams.
His situation is so bad you can't even trade him right now, because you can't move guys in a players assistance program. Nor is any team, and I mean any team, looking to trade for those guys.
You can go on all day, but those are facts and are why his value is literally rock bottom low.
So yeah, there are teams out there that would rather take a "31 year old Rakell" than him.
You make it sound like players don't play till 33-34 years old in todays league. That's just BS. many players do.
At least you can chalk up Rakells issues to things other than him, like having a 37 year old center.
Laine's issues are all on him.
But keep hitting that pipe where you think there is some great value in Laine.... there isn't. He's literally unmovable right now. Even if you wanted to, and even if they could find a rock bottom trade partner, you couldn't move him.
