Easy Tiger, the problem is Lobb is not on anything like $750k next year, he was in a front loaded contract, he might be on closer to $500k which doesn’t even pay for 1 year of the $$$ Logue is reportedly being offered to join NM, let alone the next 3-4 years of having that on our books. It’s one of the many reasons why we can easily afford to keep Lobb to his contract, bring in Jackson and not blow our cap.
Personally I think the GC Bowes trade has some merit as it explains why we were low balling Logue and Acres, and why we’re not to fussed about Tucker and Meek exploring their options. We could absorb Bowes salary for the next two years, pick up pick 7 which we offer to Melbourne for Jackson and keep our pick 13 this year.
