"The Timmy options are short. " ...You may be right, but what happens in the playoffs going forward will have a real bearing on his value. It may not end up as low as we fear. Cross your fingers.

As for the SW option, while it's always available, it doesn't get to full MLE money for DJJ (instead, somewhere around 8.7 - 9.0M, maybe?). That might be enough or it might mandate another move, raising the "price" even further.

There's a certain point at which DJJ may have to be willing to meet in the middle, so that signing him doesn't require gutting the team of needed depth.

I would love for Timmy to a couple of fire games in the playoffs.

So his salary will be a little over 16 mil and by stretch waiving wouldn't that be a little over 5 mil cap hit?  I guess there is also the roster spot.  I thought we had a little room now.  I though it would get us closer than 9.

I wonder if there is any chance of a buyout?  Maybe he takes a couple mil less so he can go sign somewhere else and we get an extra mil or so out of it.

Honestly after last night I'm about ready to dump Green if we can't get off Timmy.  Then use Timmy as an expiring at the TDL to improve.
