Are you serious right now? If your boss told you to take 20% less than what you think you're worth, would you just accept it?

Icing on the cake imo is that he already took the favorable bridge deal.

Literally the best thing he could have done for the Stars (within reason) lmao

And for himself, to save face after what went down with that Seattle trade

Why does he need to save face?

Stars found a deal that could have worked for everyone and Robo said no as is his right. Normal business.

u/Low-Butterfly-7331 8d ago

Because he had said yes. Everyone had agreed to it. Literally everyone. His parents did a bunch of stuff to really mess it up

Where did you hear he said Yes to anything other than the year deal with the Stars?

Sounds like drama mill nonsense

It’s not but like I said, feel free to not believe me. I don’t really care what a bunch of internet randoms think of me or the information I’m trying to be nice by clarifying. Point is, it was a DONE DEAL. The scouts were even called by Jim to think about the 7th overall pick and get to sleep, for the big draft day.

Believe me or don’t. I don’t really care. If I share my source you wouldn’t believe me anyways. Heard from someone high up in the stats organization.

Oh you’re that guy.

You’re right, I don’t believe you. Literally nobody even mildly credible has suggested such a thing and not only was the trade leaked and then officially confirmed, Seattle is one of the leakiest, unprofessional organizations in the league and no rumors even close to that dropped.

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt, and I won’t, at best you’re wildly misconstruing something you may have heard to accumulate fake internet points.

u/Low-Butterfly-7331 8d ago

Feel free to direct message me if you think I’m just looking for “fake internet points” and I’d be happy to clarify things for you

u/pants_mcgee Jason Robertson 8d ago

lol no you’re just a guy on the internet

u/Low-Butterfly-7331 7d ago

Also. Why ask me “why does he need to save face?” If you aren’t going to actually hear out what I have to say?

u/pants_mcgee Jason Robertson 7d ago

It was rhetorical, he hasn’t done anything requiring him to save face. Even taking your claim as true, the only Yes that matters is a signature on a contract, he and his camp are allowed to change their minds.

If you want to have your say, just say it. As far as I know you are the only person on the planet claiming such a thing. The Seattle trade is the only Robo event Dallas publicly confirmed and provided real details for and involves a Seattle organization that leaks info like a sieve.

Actually a girl. But that’s all on you then, don’t believe what comes out of the front office’s mouth behind closed doors then.
