With limited cap space this summer, a free agent might be able to make more money with Bird rights sign and trade.
Ah I missed that. Makes a ton of sense to retain bird rights for Thompson.
Sucks even more now that we didn't think of a WCS/Lee for Thompson trade.
Same reason I doubt you see us buying out Lee. His rights could come in handy this summer if we need to salary match a trade
