Let's Talk Trade Deadline
We have some players who have substantial trade value and the trade deadline is coming up soon. I've read several different articles about whether it's a good idea to move on from our core group.
On one hand, we could hold onto key players and continue with the win now mentality while pushing the cap down the road. The team could also trade for another impact veteran to help with a late season push if that's the direction they want to go. It's worked before. On the other hand, the front office might realize it's too late/too little and begin trading key pieces now for for a rebuild next year. That might be tough to pull off with most players having been through numerous contract extensions and being tied to the team. I'm not advocating a fire sale by any means but it's worth discussing. Looking at the cap hits for our top players it's hard to see much interest from other teams. We unloaded Cee Dee for next to nothing and I worry about the decisions by the front office this offseason. I sure hope we don't trade with Philly again. They got a heck of a deal. Who could/would you trade? |
