I'm not being mean here, I'm just being honest. I don't care what one reporter said months ago and then everyone repeated over and over again, or what EDM fans would prefer, a late 1st will never be enough to dump that much salary and term, and the 3rd and 4th do almost nothing to help that case, let alone CHI sending a piece back. Even an early 1st would have to be pretty darn early in order to cover the cost. If we were to consider a buyout in the calculation, the buyout cost is still $9M dollars and it spreads it out over double the term. I don't mind the Hall trade, though.
