Don't think Chipman was bs'ing but... i don't think he was telling the entire truth either. Fact is if let's just say they decided that they weren't gonna sign Buff, Chipman wouldn't come out and say we are shopping him, he'd say exactly what he said really... he's expressed interest in staying... for sure tho right, i mean what kind of interest? 8 million a year type of interest or maybe 3 years at 6.5 million type of interest or maybe none at all really... Chipman isn't gonna come out and say we are shopping him... because if he did, the return wouldn't be as much... I tend to believe that if Buff is interested in a short team 3 4 year deal, yeah he might get signed but i think if he wants anything longer, they will trade him. Personally, I'd love to see him signed to a short term deal but... realistically, i'm not sure thats a real option.
