A) He's not crippling the franchise because we're not stuck with him for contractual reasons, the team could've moved on several times and didn't. B) His contract is not nor was ever a financial albatross, it was bad but it didn't touch $100M in guaranteed money like those three do. Castle's contract has been terrible without a doubt but the only thing that let it be terrible was a combination of him being just mediocre enough to keep them out of contention to replace him in the draft and management not being willing to dump him and endure being terrible enough to replace him in the draft. Those other three guys when they're getting paid $20M+ a year and sucking their teams are only going to have two options pay them or trade them for someone else's terrible contract.
