You just went on about how we can get money in the offseason. Not sure this is such a big tip if CHI writers are correct (I realize that they probably aren't, however, that's all we have to go off of as fans) about how much they want to get rid of OPJ and how the luster has dimmed for Sat there.
They are also getting THJ and DW fresh off a playoff series in which they make a good enough showing (or better) of themselves. I realize that begs the question of why we would trade them. It's a trade of a starter and bench player for 2 starters in my mind, where the starter and bench player along with the money savings makes it worth their while. Also, as said above, it's to get off that OPJ contract that they don't want to pay anymore.
