I agree with a part of this.
They chose THT over Caruso.
That's gotta be one of the worst moves in the recent history of this organization, along with the Westbrook trade, the Hood-Schafino draft and the original offer to DS.
Just a series of blunders that are unconscionable
According to salary cap expert Danny Leroux, if Caruso had agreed to the Lakers offer, the franchise would have owed an additional $17.5 million in luxury tax, a fact the Lakers hoped would resonate with Caruso.
"They" as in Jeanie too. I don't know how much input Rob had in that decision but I know that after that Suns series loss and Caruso playing like shyt, Jeanie probably felt like it wasn't a decision worth making. I remember vividly how there was talk about luxury tax and how the ownership didn't want to go beyond a certain number to keep Caruso.
