And your boy Joe is right, 100% right.
So you don't like this, Ed?
Like it.
It's an understatement, Teek.
I would have rather have paid Pete Alonzo on a short-term deal.
I don't think there was any chance Pete was going to accept it.
And I do agree with the notion that I would have tried, like I would have made that attempt.
But I don't think that was going to happen because the difference between Bichette and Alonzo is Bichette can benefit by going back in a free agency a year from now.
So I agree.
Pete could not have done a three-year deal.
No, he's in his 30s.
He's coming off a monster year.
Right, 31.
So if he would have done this exact deal, let's say without the opt-outs, he's 34.
He's not getting along.
But here's the problem.
So I agree if we're going to go relitigate history.
Would I have preferred Alonzo on a short-term deal?
Absolutely.
But he's gone and he's not coming back.
