That accomplishes multiple purposes all in one small move: it clears out a center, it opens up more room under the Apron, and at the same time serves as salary matching. It can be piggy-backed on ANY deal, of course, but it can be a standalone if that works better.
I wonder if the backup plan regarding McGee is stretch waive. I know there are unknown variables, but would that potentially create the room they need to get the full MLE/BAE?
