Trade & FA 2024-25:

[F Gump]

Question for the brilliant minds here...

We have been talking a lot about making whatever moves are necessary to re-sign DJJ, moving THJ, maybe moving Green, etc.

My question is whether there is a clock ticking on this. Does something need to happen before July 1st? Does it need to happen before the draft? Does it need to happen before FA signing starts?

Just looking for the urgency associated with these decisions.

Thanks.

Moves to open up enough cap permission to re-sign DJJ (sliding the number higher from 5.2M and towards 12.9M MLE) probably aren't possible in June. No one has cap room to offer right now.

But assuming that's their goal, it seems close to certain they will work out that deal now, for July. Unfortunately for us, we are unlikely to hear about any swap set for July, until we get past June 30.

I think that would be their first domino, and none of the rest (even if several are lined up now) will be made public until the cap-clearing move is locked up and done.
