I gave Benning 18 months before I turned on him.
But, I will say this. The “we want young players not draft picks” thing screams shortcut to me, and that is a mistake. Young players means paying a premium to get them, or getting lesser quality young players than what you would have drafted/developed. It’s a mistake and a red flag.

I think it's essential to get young quality players back if you're moving Miller, Horvat etc. It's the clubs that want the best player in the deal that have to pay a premium.
