For several reasons, but it comes down to could we have gotten more for less? Or could he have gotten more, and if not why 5 years?
The biggest question though, is why so close to the deadline?
This contract is all but untradable. Had it been two years that’s one thing, but 5 makes it very hard, almost impossible to move
Let’s face it, we’re not in the position to afford the “Keep the band together” luxury
alta:
$3.5 a year is cheap, I'd lock that in for 5 years over 2 or 3 every day of the week, and Eller looks like his game is still improving. Also, at the end of 5 this player at this price is not a big deal if you gotta let him walk
