I don't really understand all this "screw Bonzi and his agent" sentiment here. This is business. Sometimes when you get into tough negotiations, there is a winner and a loser, sometimes two losers, and sometimes, when BOTH sides can give enough and meet in the middle, there are two winners.
In the Bonzi case, if we get nothing back for him, I'd say there are two losers.
Lots of folks are pointing at Bonzi's agent and saying he's at fault, but we really don't know who is driving the Bonzi camp train...Bonzi or his agent. Bonzi's agent may have pleaded with him to take Geoff's initial offer, or maybe he told him not to, or perhaps they both agreed to forego the offer. We just don't know, regardless of what Bonzi's agent has said to the press.
As fans, we really should want a S&T to go down now, so that our team can improve on the front line, but ONLY a deal that accomplishes this. Petrie has already mouthed the dreaded words of wanting to stay out of lux tax land, so the prospect for a S&T seems very remote. However, if a good deal arose to get a big-man piece that the Kings needed, I wholeheartedly believe that Petrie would be down on it.
This is about making our team better, not revenge or retribution. It's business.
