OK, that’s valid.
What if it costs more? What is the going rate to absorb a year of salary at Hardaway’s level is two first rounders, whereas the cap space team in question actually wants Green enough to lower that sweetener asking price SIGNIFICANTLY?
Now, that absolutely is me pushing the parameters farther than maybe they will go, but then again, maybe not. All I’m trying to do is suggest that there are possibilities that make finding a non-Hardaway solution to this problem possibly attractive.
what really irks me is when people read that stuff and then accuse me of hating or running down the players. My opinion on these players is relative to my opinions on the other players. Therefore, anyone less valuable than Derek Jones, Jr has to be considered as a POTENTIAL solution to this problem, regardless of whether or not they are the PREFERRED solution.
And to your recent point, we must then consider COST of dumping as an additional piece of data. I’m sorry, I don’t want to give up on Green, but I might prefer to give up on him than to light two more 1st round picks on fire. I would say the exact same thing about Gafford.
