My list of who to keep around is pretty dang short.
I would keep Glad, Movsisyan, Sunny, Rimando, Attinella, Velazco, Okwuonu and maybe Maund. Send Jordan Allen down to the Monarchs. Everyone has hopes for him, but frankly I don't think he's ready to be an MLS player. He shows flashes every now and then, but he should spend a season or two with the Monarchs playing 90 minutes on the right wing EXCLUSIVELY. RSL really screwed up with that kid by playing him in limited minutes at 10 different positions. Typical Cassar. Who, by the way, needs to be shown the door IMMEDIATELY. I know the look of a locker room in disarray, and that's what RSL has now.

People will argue that Beltran is the best defender we've got, and you might be right. I think he's pretty overrated, TBH. He gives RSL virtually nothing in the attack, other than the ability to possess the ball a little and connect on short passes 70% of the time. His 1-on-1 defending is actually very, very good, and that's the reason why RSL should trade him. He is in his prime and would start for virtually every other team in MLS. That gives him value, and I think Okwuonu can fill in.

There needs to be a wholesale changing of the guard. RSL needs to properly rebuild. Trouble is, I don't think Del Loy Hansen has the stones to clean house. They'll put a band-aid here or there and try to roll largely the same group out there next year. I do think Morales will retire, though. But RSL won't find an adequate replacement. *pffffffft*
