"Two players at half the cost of KP should be easier to trade or S/W one of them rather than S/W KP if he gets injured again"? I think Cuban is more in the mold of saving money now, more than what happens 2, 3, 5 or 7 years from now...
Would this be better to play out pre-draft or after FA starts? If we get below the apron, would trades go back to the rule of with-in 5mm range?
Yes on the $5mm rule (good catch). S/W between now and 6/30 or in July/August would work the same.
I think this would be for Bamba if it happens. Orlando doesn’t need Bamba with Carter and the #1 pick. Mosley might like a year of a veteran leader he knows well (Powell) to ease Holmgren into the league and maybe gets a couple of our $3mm guys. From there we dump one more minor contract and can pay Bamba something a hair north of the MLE.
BTW, I was wrong about a S&T for Hartenstein. LAC is limited in what it can pay him.
