Your points about the relative merits of Kai vs others were good, but I have an informational point about this ^ issue.
It should be a nothing burger anyhow, in this context, to pony up the cost of doing business.
But in this case, should be even easier to sell, if that's necessary.
Why? The cash being paid to attach to DP to pay his $4M salary in a trade would actually be "free." The difference in tax for DAL in moving from DP to a min salary player would exceed $5M.
