i also think while it might not be popular here we could see a sign and trade, were we give washington or detroit RHJ in order for them not to match the contract and to send us the player.
im a big RHJ guy, and i dont want these RFA guys alone let alone givnig up RHJ but it would make sense from a cap perspective.
if we max porter or KCP then we would be capped out once dlo/rhj/levert get extensions. including RHJ gets us under the cap with a core of dlo/levert/porter.
hopefully not but i wouldnt be shocked at something like that.
I don't think they'd trade RHJ for either of those guys while also giving them massive contracts. I think they have even more motivation than they did with Lopez to not deal him unless it's bringing back a potential super star.
yeah im not saying it happens... but its hard to pay porter the max and then extend RHJ later. marks said he doesnt want to have a capped out 35 win team. which is what you risk maxing porter and then extending RHJ in a couple years.
then again, we could max porter and deal RHJ at the deadline, nexy year, next years deadline, the offseason after etc... so its not that we NEED to trade him.... but if your marks, and you want porter, and you think the wizards match i can see him giving them RHJ to agree to not match and send us porter. porter would get his 5th year in that scenario, so he probably accepts too.
