and he's been pretty accurate as of late, so unfortunately waiting to see what it is.

Unfortunately he has been. He's been relatively accurate on "small" stuff going back a long time.

If its comedic then it would have to either make no sense or be someone who was on our team right? Are we trading for Val?

Or someone very minor that they try to pretend is some great pick up and we have to move a guy for it to work

There's not many "very minor" people we would have to move contracts for. Only one that would be a high cost but good player would be John Collins. I don't think there's anyone who makes enough money that we would need to trade Jose/ Hawk that would be worse than having them.

The only thing funnier than Jaxson Hayes would be trading our 27' pick to the Hawks for Onyeka Okongwu. HAHAHA

We can't trade 27 because of the Stepien Rule

Not if they give us a late 26' pick. Now that would be hilarious!

Bunch, where are you seeing this out of curiosity? Only thing I saw on X didn’t say anything about a trade and more seemed like a joke. Just curious.

I could have misinterpreted it but he said 'wait until you see what joe has cooked up LOL" or something to that effect and then "not necessarily a signing"

How would you interpret this "LOL" while knowing the source? Is that a "we are fricked" lol or a "this will be interesting" lol?

So $10 mil below the tax. $14mil exception, and $11mil between Jose/ Hawk, Reeves. Do the math and I was correct with being able to add $25-$30mil in assets....
If we use the TPE, it will still count against the tax. So, you cannot add the $10 million plus the TPE. The max we can take on (without a trade) is roughly $10 million. With a trade, we would have to find someone to take on the 3 guys you mentioned, but also replace their roster spots, so the net of the 3 would be in the $5-$6 million range if we replaced them with players making minimum.
