Seriously? If we SnT for Dragic on a 3 for $90M contract, does that make it "air" for KP? MAYBE if you're trading for a 1 year contract at the TDL, you can call it "air". You're not getting "air" if it's a multi year deal, because if the player returning doesn't work out, you don't have "air" to figure out how to correct the mistake, which is what you think we need to do with KP now. Glad the FO doesn't think that way.
I get the concept, I really do, but if we're going to sign Lowry for an absurd contract, I'd rather keep KP on his currently absurd contract, cause I know there is a much better chance that he lives up to the contract as opposed to Lowry.
