Aside from the optics of losing our best player again, I don't feel anywhere the sense of loss that I have in previous episodes. First, he's not as good as some of those other guys. Second, unless he is still hampered by the injury that kept him out of the lineup at Creighton (which may well be the case), he's not been as good nor worth the type of money someone of his attendant hype will probably require. And if he's not giving us any home team discount (and again, I have no idea if he would or not), I'd feel fine rolling the dice on someone else at a similar price point.
In a perfect world, I'd like to keep him. Let me be clear about that. But not at any price, even one within our budget. He's a goof player. But he is not irreplaceable.
