is the most logically incoherent statement I have read in a week full of them. Its bafflingly stupid.
I agree it's incoherent in that it ignores the possibility that he might have been influenced by working with Thompson. However, saying he might be more involved in free agency than Thompson isn't exactly going out on a limb. It will probably be true to some extent.
