And the THJ for PJW swap could be a simple standalone deal too.
But as you noted, finding a home for McGee or Holmes (and maybe even both) is almost certainly a necessary part of the equation if Zubac is being added.
Thanks for the clarity of thinking. I’ve got too many possibilities running through my head. Some where he takes the TK and some where he can’t. Some where I’m trying to preserve the MLE and some where I’m spending the dollars in a trade. I’ve even got some things where I’m trying to make two trades with equivalent money going in and out in both and still preserving the MLE or part of the MLE. So, my mind isn’t as clear as it would be if the possibilities were narrowed a bit.
