Do the numbers work with Davis being a Base year Comp guy? 1/2 of salary counts. Money aside... The only problem I see with that trade is NJ gets quite a bit shorter. Not sure they'd go for that. And TA seems to be unwanted around the league. But I'd take it for the Cs end, though I think Baby is better than either big from NJ. Getting both would give us a strong depth for post defense, anyway. I think Hayes and Scal for Indy would be nice, but I'm thinking that the salaries there are too high for Indy.

The lure of big money is a compelling thing. Davis, will, no doubt play less minutes this season. The question is how many less. If he can get 20 minutes a game, he can make an impact. If he's cut back to 10-15, he's just a stop gap - more or less. Also, if he gets injured himself.....and the weight issue. The other possibility that I didn't mention is that the Cs offer him a decent multi year contract...say....9 million over 3 years. That would worth grabbing, IMO. You are set for life unless you are an imbecile. And you continue to develop on a top notch team. Win-win. I think there's an article there! thanks, JB! T The risk is noted…and real.

I'll be back at 5:00PM..... by then.... who knows if I'll even remember to return and see if it got a response..... Who is in charge here? LOL!

Davis was willing to roll the dice once. Remember when he took a 2 year rookie deal, instead of the 3 year one that almost all rookies sign, so he'd come up for free agency sooner? This might solve a lot of problems for everyone.......... although a huge risk for Davis, now that Wallace is on board and he may get less minutes than last season and will surely have a lesser role than in last years playoffs from which his performance is what set his present value. “the one year Qualifying Offer?”
