Taking Players

Posted by Curious on July 8, 2025, 11:45 am

Is it common for a top organization to take players that are related when one of them doesn't belong there?

Sometimes they take an entire team to get three or four players, and end up shedding the rest.

If an organization wants to have the best possible team it can, taking one lesser player to get a commitment from a super talent might be good math.

Is it fair to the best player who didn’t get an offer? Of course, not.

But I don’t think an organization has an obligation to that player or owes an explanation to those of us who know how to do it better.

It depends on the specific organization. There are organizations out there who do make decisions based on the players who have been with them for a period of time. Orgs like the Chill, NLL, and Silverhawks.

Then there are organizations who could care less who the individual is inside their uniform, everyone is able to be replaced.
