Just a thought, but....do we consider trading LaVar?

I don't think it makes the most sense in the world to get rid of him yet, even if you do it post-June 1. Unless we had a crystal ball and could tell what will happen with the CBA over the next few years.

I'm quoting myself, that's funny.

Just wanted to add that the cap figures I presented above represent what would happen if we traded Arrington based on how his contract stands today.

But he's due a $6 million roster bonus in 2006, which the Skins will surely renegotiate into a signing bonus. Any comparisons, to be fair and accurate, should be done to cap expectations after the renegotiation. And in that case, we'd take a sizeable cap hit.
