Cant say I'm too torn up about losing LaCava, the USL to MLS pipeline for strikers has always been a struggle.
The trade situation is a really curious one though. You figure Miami's GM would have called Hamlett first rather than jump through expansion draft hoops to get LaCava.
im confused why everyone thinks Miami would have traded with us before the expansion draft for a player they would then have to protect. Same thing happened to NYCFC last season, charlotte traded their guy for 400k, LAFC lost Blackmon who was traded for $425k for the same reason. Only mistake is protecting Barlow and Wiki over Lacava. But no way miami trades with us before the draft, that would be stupid by them
