Re: [Celtics' Stuff ] who to protect for the expansion draft?

[Celtic4Hire@xxxxxxx]

I don't see how Charlotte refuses that deal. But is a 5 million exception 
that great for us? If Danny had another deal already lined up, then yes but 
Stewart's contract itself has some value since it is expiring. The thing that 
bothers me is that we have had trade exceptions in the past and haven't used them 
(although smaller). So again, I say this works if Danny had another deal lined 
up to use it on.

How do you like the threat that the Cs are going to go for additional money 
from Vin? Maybe they are going try to recoup previous wages. They must be 
trying to settle or it is time to play hardball....

<< I did not know that either. which means they could therotetically offer 
 Charlotte a 1st rounder and up to $3M in cash (which they received from 
Detroit in 
 the Atkins deal) to take Yogi Stewart and receive almost a $5M trade 
exception 
 in the process. That would be sweet. 
 
 Charlotte can turn around and let Stewart go and they make $3M cash and also 
 get a 1st rounder to draft younger, cheaper, and cost controlled talent via 
 the Rookie scale for the next 3-5 years. Win/win for both teams and tough 
luck 
 for Stewart as there is no way he gets a FA offer anywhere near that kind of 
 money.
