But Holmes is a distressed asset right now. He is having a down year, and just got pushed to backup center. He is clearly unhappy. A 12 mil unhappy backup center is not an asset. We would basically have dumped KP for two mildly negative assets. It was practically a salary dump. That didn't seem like too much to ask for. Apparently it was (or this FO is terrible, I'm still struggling with which is the right answer).
Point taken on Holmes as an asset, and I agree. But, for anything to work, it has to begin with someone willing to take KP. That's the part that was even more of a stretch than we realized.
