While it is true, that we 'sniffed' these guys, it is also true that we didn't make ridiculous offers to either.
I'm always willing to take a look... make a reasonable offer... and then fold.
One component of that is the player's agent. With frequency, an agent announces his client is expecting $20mm/yr when every sane fan is thinking $10-12mm. Just MHO, but I suspect it's either delusion or a bargaining position. Miami has, rightly, avoided those negotiations.
I still think Grier/Flo are done with the one-piece-away contracts that seemed to hook TBaum. I think we'll see more of the Ogbah/KVN type
