Great. Just ****ing great.
I can see Hall asking out of here. I think it's already happened with Petry. I think he told them 'you might as well trade me, because I'm not signing an extension and I'm out of here after this season.' And it may or may not have to do with Eakins, but I'll bet at least some of it does have to do with him.
And then there's Hall. The one and only true star player on the team. Yet we have a coach talking to him with no respect. I can easily see Hall asking to be traded, and I can also see MacT keeping Eakins over Hall because of his ego: Eakins was all on him. He has to fire Eakins, that is major egg on his face. He has to trade Hall? Well he can salvage that and justify it in his mind by getting back good pieces. Of course they won't be as good as Hall, but it will be good enough in his mind to justify the trade so he doesn't have to admit his mistake regarding hiring Eakins--at least not yet, anyway. And you always want to delay that for as long as possible and pray that things change.
And this is just with 2 players that I'm spitballing about. This whole situation could get very ugly very soon. And all because of keeping Eakins. Is it worth it? If any of this is true--if it's even remotely true, is keeping Eakins worth it? Should I even have to ask?
This is becoming...I don't even know how to describe it. I'm actually starting to feel embarrassed for MacT regarding Eakins.
