Hi Glims, I'm very sorry that your tenure on Baltimore came to an end in such an upsetting way for you. I know you were super excited getting drafted there and it sucks that you didn't really have a say in whether you could stay on to help the rebuild or not.
I sort of understand why HO appointed new GMs who would dismantle the entire previous regime and rebuild from scratch, although I'm still unclear on how much of that was the interim GMs and how much was HO. That said, if that's the plan that HO / the interim GMs / the new GMs are going with, they need to have the difficult conversations explaining that that's what they're going to do with the current war room. Hard conversations suck but being honest and upfront with people is how you don't end up accidentally generating a 10 page drama thread.
Speaking of being honest and upfront, I think too many people are focusing on what Baltimore got out of the existing offers as they stood. Maybe more should be focusing on the fact that there were many teams interested (the article mentions Philly, Berlin, and Austin - Sarasota also had an offer on the table although I'm unsure whether Glims/Frazzle were ever informed about that (in any case we probably wouldn't have been able to outbid Austin/Berlin) ) and yet the new GMs pushed through a trade quickly without seeing if any of the other interested teams were willing to match Austin's offer.
