Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[F Gump]

You are not concerned about having negative assets clogging up the cap sheet for 3 or 4 years?  That seems like a crazy take.

"You are not concerned about having negative assets clogging up the cap sheet for 3 or 4 years?" ---  Not by YOUR definition of "negative assets" which was mostly or entirely based on what trade value the player has.

For me (as I said before, verbatim), all that really matters is whether you have players who can start and play well, and fit your roster. If THOSE become an issue, then it's a different matter of course, and of course you want to make a trade. But if you have players who are very useful to what you are doing, but want to act out of a fear that they might not be sellable somewhere down the road, perhaps, that to me is the wrong approach.
