Trade Advice: Nicks for White

Wow. I just can't see giving up Holmes to move up from the 1.04 to the 1.02. Am I missing something?

Holmes isn't elite and I believe both Green and Ingram are. Plus you lock them up long term at a lesser salary. You are upgrading talent and decreasing salary IMO. The salary part of it pushes it over the edge for me.

All true. I guess the jump from 1.04 to 1.02 just doesn't seem that huge. But maybe it is. Honestly, I doubt I could pull the trigger on that deal.

I can understand that. It is very aggressive. I am much more aggressive in my salary league than my normal leagues. I would try for the late first and Holmes for 1.02 and see what you can do there at least. It is worth a shot.

Thanks for all your advice. I'll post when I hear more from the other owner.
