4 2nds for an expiring who probably isn't in our playoff rotation.


So 4 2nds to not pay Graham next season? Mehhhhh

I'm fine with it.

Worth it to get out of Devonte's contract alone

JRich is an expiring

Yep, doesn't move the needle for this year, but thrilled to be out from under Graham without having to give up a first to do it.

I'm ok with this. 2nds are super easy to acquire if you want them.

Yes, this was strictly a salary dump. While I’m very happy with dumping DG, very sad that we still always feel like we’re pinching pennies

It's not 4 2nds next season.


If this is the deal to get us under the tax next season, whatever. I thought we would go over the tax next season. But if this is just better positioning to go into the tax next season, I get it, but there's no chance that this deal was worth giving up 4 2nds.

Might be part of other things too

Of course if this is it for us, yeah, not sure on that one.

Even though I like and have wanted us to go get Richardson

Richardson is a huge upgrade to Graham.

Now let's get rid of Sideshow Jax

What’s it like? We gave up too much for a guy who fits in nowhere barring injury

Either we made a good roster move for us, or i see him being flipped quick since he’s an expiring deal

Either way, love it

Nobody wanted Graham for another year and give away an actual valuable asset. Can’t blame them.
