TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

We've had this discussion before at length. Such a trade creates NO added opportunity. You don't get cap room, you're just not as far over the cap. Mark Cuban will thank you but it does nothing for the team's future.

Yes we did and I kept posting numbers based on Kamm’s spreadsheet that showed the options and how much money and you glossed over it not saying anything about those numbers. I showed after RW expired we would be slightly under the cap. With 5 picks I bet we could trade SD and 3 picks for SGA, then RB and 2 picks for OGA. All that would take is getting around $17M under which as luck would have it, is Maxi’s cap hold. Options. You’re creative enough, I bet you could figure something out. I would hope our new cap guy was creative enough to figure out something as well. Not using the cap space for FAs, but for cap relief in trade.

I’d rather have SGA and OGA in 1 year than Bertans, THJ, Powell, RB, Maxi and SD. Wouldn’t you?

Edit:

Luka/SGA/DFS/OGA/Wood with a bench of vet min ring chasers to sprinkle in with Hardy/Green/McGee

Looks pretty good to me.
