I don't know if that link will work, but it is 18 minutes of Dlo to AD passes. I've never been a fan, but that doesn't mean this can't work.
I like the graphic (1st team, 2nd team) that Smitty posted. Every player on the second unit has or can start for a playoff team. That is strong.
I looked ahead to 2nd apron for 26/27. We are over by $4mm. Assumptions are Powell is replaced by a pick, OMax is replaced by a Vet Min (he is TO and would make $5.2mm if he's not traded). I have DLo staying on a non-Bird 20% raise.
The real apron issue is Martin at $10mm plus a $1.3m LTBA Bonus. He's the only player with a bonus next year at this point. He's basically the 11th/12th man at this point, though he would have been in the second unit had we not landed Flagg. His contract is a nice size for trades as it pairs well with others to increase outgoing salary. I guess he could move up the pecking order if PJ doesn't extend, but I think his best value is as outgoing trade matching. That wasn't something you were going to get with Grimes.
