The sad thing for them is they don't even have the pieces to move to do that. The have no first rounders over the next three years and only two seconds and two thirds. They're definitely going to be in an interesting situation.
I'll still never understand why they were so short-sighted. Knowing they had Knight in the pipeline, they still signed Bobs to that whacky contract. I get it, you can't be sure an unproven player can play until they show it, but to sign Bobs to a seven year contract? What was the point of drafting Knight then?
No team is without one or two bad contracts or trades, but this is one of the worst in the league.
There was an idea I saw earlier that I kind of liked the concept of. Someone proposed Jones for Bob, straight up. Other CHI fans hated it. But if CHI is ready to just move on and cut their losses with with the old CHI regimes mistakes, Bob's contract expires EXACTLY when CHI should hopefully start giving substantial extensions to RFA's and at the very same time there will be available UFA's that could be targets without Jones on the books. Plus, if Bob keeps playing bad, he keeps us low in the standings to keep getting high picks. I know Jones is a HUGE investment for CHI to just toss out the window, but, I think Jones window is now, not later when CHI is ready to compete again.
I think, especially if Jones gets back to playing at a high level, people would be screaming for our GM's head. But in the bigger picture, it almost makes sense. FLA is in no position to take on Jones contract though. Plus they would probably have to add a little something, which they can't afford to do and would be risky for them. So, even that doesn't work. None the less, FLA is in a better position to win within Jones window than CHI is. He needs to be on a good team. This tanking is just dragging him down. And I fear, if this goes on too long, he won't be able come back from it when games start to matter again.
