I'm not sure this really has anything to do with Love personally. Arod is more talented and playing at a high level. So of course going with Love takes a step back.
I'm moving more and more to the belief that this whole craptastic, annoying, pathetic, etc.. Arod thing is Murphy not wanting to deal with the aftermath of Arod moving on, so he is desperately trying to hold on to Arod until he retires and can leave it to the next guy to clean up the sh**show that he will be leaving behind.
I don't believe the narrative/timeline thing anymore on GBs part because making yourself look like a desperate loser who is pathetically trying to hold onto his trophy wife is no way to create a trade market. Especially when everyone can see that it is going to put you in a bad financial position for years to come.
