I said they would tag Godwin. I think most felt that way.
Maybe they have a handshake agreement that they would offer Shaq a multi-year deal so he wouldn’t have to worry about his future. They didn’t tag him because they wanted to give him that long term contract that he rightfully earned.
Maybe it was respect.
But if they were willing to let him negotiate because they were worried about their cap space and what others may offer, they may have shut themselves in the foot.
Shaq is a helluva player. Hopefully there was a respect with the team management towards their client, he wouldn’t have to worry about signing another franchise tag deal...we got you.
I just want to see this defense intact and go at it again, I think they will be even better. Draft some rookies to shore up for injuries and let it roll.
