From Jake Fischer:


“Dallas appears to be the one of, if not the strongest suitors for Thompson, sources said.

It feels more and more likely all the time.  To me, structure of the deal is the most fascinating thing.

Is it the $16.2mm/$10.5mm split I've mentioned where we use some of the NT MLE for DJJ/Marshall with Green gone?

Is it the trade matching version where Thompson is part of a 3-way making about $14mm and we either keep Green or move him to keep the NT MLE for DJJ/Marshall.

Is it a version where we don't keep Green or the ability to use the big MLE and make the deal THJ/Green outgoing matching Grimes/Thompson incoming with Thompson starting at about $24.5mm

Is it like the one above except Powell is outgoing instead of Green and Thompson is back in the $16mm range. (but no NT MLE player unless you send out Green to create that).

Lots of ways to move the chess pieces around.  One thing though, we can't keep Priority 1A and 1B AND players 7 (Green) and 8 (Maxi) AND get Thompson.  I haven't figured a path to that one yet.  At least one of those four players will not be here.
