Love this exercise and pretty much all of these deals, Will! I think the only tweak I might make is sending Dick to the Kings and hanging on to Dilly. But I think that is very much a beauty is in the eye of the beholder situation.

This is a great write up and it gives me a bit of hope. It was hard to watch the team sit on its collective thumbs the last few years, while the value of their assets dwindled and the team was rudderless.

I really like the idea of letting Splitter develop young players while keeping flexibility for when some of their current assets start to get expensive (mainly Matas).
