Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3794044, member: 1969"] Disappointing to see the Raps could not move Lowry. In my head I had moved on from the team this year. My initial thought on the Powell trade was "Meh", but thinking it through it made sense. - Gary Trent is sort of a Powell replacement, and as an RFA his cap hold was 5-6 million less than Norm. - Gives the Raps more money to go free agent something with over $20Million of cap space. - They then resign Gary Trent to more than the hold, go over the cap, and get a full MLE. Lowry could have a value in a sign and trade, but the problem with that is that you will get salary in return next year and burn that cap space. At a high level, Bobby Webster is still a relatively new GM. On the bright side, if the Raps were unable to bend on chicken poop offers it creates negotiation equity in the future where teams know that Webster could just decide not to play. [/QUOTE]
