Im not saying it makes sense or we should, just if we CAN!

Also, if we can, could we sign and trade DLee for a piece we need as it also might fall into those bird rights. Im not saying we should, just asking if we could.

		2010 
Curry		11.3
Jefferies	6.8
Gallo		3.3
Chandler	2.1
Hill		2.7
Douglas		1
Lee		10.5
Bender		0.5
Landry		0.5
cap holds	2 
----------------------
		40.7

so with the above team, you can spend roughly $14M.

Phucking Eddy!!

I look forward to when the stenchy residue of Marbury, Eddy, and Isiah are all gone.

And we have our own picks.

As I noted in another thread, if you get rid of Curry and Hill, you can have 2 max FAs and Lee (at around $10m).

Can Lee be signed to a long term that is back loaded with year to year incentives such as this years playoff bonus? If I'm handing him that bonus I'm offering him a long term and asking him to take it back loaded so I can increase the talent level he plays with. And if 2010 and 2011 are less than the current bird rights it frees cap space. Like.
