If the two principals other than Powell and Crowder are Bertans and Clarkson, then yeah, I would include a first for those two benefits. Any other combo, nope.
I can’t give up a FRP for 2 players that are highly likely to leave after a year (Crowder won’t start due to DFS and I don’t think this is where Clarkson will want to stay) plus they aren’t as good individually as Bojan. Bertans contract is pretty bad though so the most I would give up is the 2 seconds we have available.
