Mid-round draft picks are regularly bought for 3 million or less. I'm unsure why a team would want to buy one for 6.5 million (Ridnour's contract) from us.
So Ridnour is worthless? He is overpaid by 6.5 million??? Is that your honest opinion???
Where did he say that? He said you can regularly buy mid 1st round picks for $3 million or less (Phoenix comes to mind as a team that sells draft picks), so if you're a team wanting another 1st round pick, why wouldn't you go to a team looking to just sell their pick first before going to the Bucks who are trying to attach Ridnour as well.
Total cost of buying a mid round pick for $3 million, $4,623,720 (don't know if that's the total, I'm just using the 15th pick and his first year salary as an example)
Total cost of taking Ridnour plus the 15th pick, $8,123,720
Total savings, $3,500,000.
