re: So how would the stretch provision work on EG this offseason?

I believe he's probably referring to Danny or Gerald, too.

Don't leave Jeff out either. He can either be a trade target or opt out.

I'm saying that I've looked at the free agents, and I don't see this massive $3million discrepancy in who we can sign or who we can't.

There are a lot of Greens on the market this offseason, which in theory should suppress their value, but if you want your first choice of Green (or any other SF) you are going to have to bring at least $8 million to the table IMO, probably closer to $10. Would it be better to get your 4th choice for $7 instead of your 1st choice for $11? Maybe, but who has plan A as landing their 4th choice?

Danny or Gerald better not cost us $10 million though is my point.

Sticker shock is to be expected when in 2 years the cap is expected to explode possibly more than 50% compared to the $58 million cap we've gotten used to. If the cap gets to $90 million as some have speculated then the new MLE will be roughly $7.75 million. $10 million will be the new $6.5 million.
