Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

So (and please, correct me if I'm wrong), getting enough room to go over the tax MLE will require moving THJ, Green or Gafford, right, and the question is HOW they move one of those guys. Like, we're hoping they can do so productively to bring in at leas one usable player or draft capital while still accomplishing the savings, rather than just dumping one of them for air. 

Do I have the right situation in mind, or is there something I'm missing? 

Because if that's the crux of it, it's got to be THJ. I'd agree with you that Green would be my next choice before Gafford, but I also think THJ is probably the least likely to be used in a productive deal we LIKE (though it's not impossible). 

Is it fair to say a move that opens up the MLE for DJJ and accomplishes something productive, like adding a player or draft capital, might require moving TWO of those guys?

It might actually be easier to move Timmy in a salary matching deal where we are sending out additional assets then dumping him because the focus is the assets we are sending out and Tim is salary ballast. 

If we are getting a player back it will very likely require two going out. Even something like Tim for Grimes does not get you all the way to MLE
