makes no sense

A lot of times when something "makes no sense," the problem is with those who it makes no sense to if it makes logical sense, in general. This does.

 

Why wouldn't you trade Scotty Hopson for cash considerations if you clear his contract while getting some more cash on top of that?

Cash considerations and cap space aren't the same thing.

It doesn't take anymore money of the books then flat out cutting him would have.

It does however give the organization more money which is always a good thing.

 

What can they do with that "more money"?

Releasing equals cap space

This trade for cash equals same cap space and puts money into owners pockets. Therefore if we were to slightly go over cap, owner had a little extra money to put towards that.

 

So it could, potentially, help the cap situation in the end?

It's still a good trade though. You could either flat out cut him and get nothing for it except for cap space.

Or you could trade him and pick up cash as well as cap space.

 

I guess NO wanted him and wants to keep him, or maybe they need him to facilitate a trade to make the numbers work.

I have a feeling if we sign Lance it's gonna come out of left field. There won't be any reports of him visiting or us contacting them, etc. It'll just break with a tweet from Adrian or Stein saying we've agreed to terms with him.

    • The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
