    Are you going to argue that He isn't that much better than Blake? I believe he would be a nice upgrade.

    not sure it makes any sense but just tossing it out there.. amodified idea from a poster on RealGM

    say we trade Sergio and the #24 for the #8 via NY TE

    then say nothing else happens on draft day

    on July 1 our cap figue according to Storyteller is $51.48 (less Sergio + #8) with an estimated cap of $58.68 mil leaving us $7.2 mil in room

    we add Sergio's $1.5 mil back onto the room and its $8.7 mil
    we do not have a #24 so we add $0.9 mil back onto it giving us $9.6 mil in cap room

    Hinrich makes $9.5 mil....

    any chance a deal for Hinrich can be made at that time... Hinrich for the #8 since we have not signed him yet (whoever it is)?

    and giving them a $9.5 mil TE

    We can send them Outlaw and Blake if they want them and keep the #8 for something else...

    thoughts?

    Maybe Chicago would be cool with that second part, but where I think it falls apart is getting NY to give us the #8 for that package. It's just not enough. They'd either want more talent then the #24 or for us to take a bad contract off their hands.

    NY's motivated by clearing cap space. Consolidating the #8 and a bad contract for good pieces that don't run longer than a year's commitment would be their goal IMO.

    Jeffries and #8 for Outlaw and Rodriguez makes the most sense for both sides.

    Jeffries would be a good locker room guy, giving us as much as Frye IMO.
