re: Payton on Colin Cowherd this morning (troubling)

1. He texted Loomis about Taysom's performance because they are "best friends." - this is already setting he stage for a minimal trade return

I've literally said on this board countless times this is going to happen and I get tons of downvotes every time.

Payton is the best coach in the history of this franchise. Loomis, Dennis and Gail are not going to frick him. They just won't. They want to keep that relationship strong. We as fans don't care, but they will. Could we still get a decent return? Sure. Would we get a better return if he left on bad terms? ABSOLUTELY.

Sean is going to be in their ear so fast once these talks start happening. Hell, he probably is now. He wants to succeed at his next stop. He needs assets for that. He won't have them if his next team give them all to us for him. He knows that. He will absolutely try every schmoozing tactic he can to make sure we don't trade rape his next team.
