Pedulla was gone- he wasnt going to get paid here, and the team was looking to be a complete rebuild either way and he wanted out of Dodge for multiple reasons. CMY fixed the issue with Miller and then he left at the last minute. If Miller had never signed, CMY would have found another starting PG in the portal. It was never going to be Rech and Hammond. So if you want to blame it all on Tech message board fans for pointing out that SP was far from perfect , knock yourself out.
