I'm kinda wondering how the timeline of Joe's activity will go, and I'm willing to take the chance of looking like a id10t here.
My uninformed opinion is that he will:
First
Either trade or draft #15
Then
Sign his free agents
Then
Make some trades, bringing in additional salary
Does that jive with what you guys think?
Basically, if he's got prime FA targets that he wants to spend on, trading #15 clears more room for them. Once he signs his FA's and gets up to the cap number, he can then make some trades and take on the extra 25% of salaries all the way up to the tax threshold (if he's got permission from Mama Davidson, that is).
I'm wondering if that will be the correct order of things, because if trades come first, it's going to eat into the cap space, and then he can only go up to the cap # to sign any FA's. In other words, doing them in reverse order hurts his flexibility, right?
Thoughts?
Am I a dumbass?
Wait, don't answer that.
