That would still get Dallas a $14mm TPE or $14mm in salary to trade match. But, NY doesn't "need" Dallas to do this. My guess is we don't pay for a TPE for the sake of a TPE. But, we might have to pay for making JB a S&T at a dollar amount needed for a deal we have lined up (like some of those I mentioned).
I'll rather just let JB go and not pay anything for a TPE that likely won't be used. Unless a TPE is absolutely necessary for a deal made in the same hour, just cut the loss and move on.
