Got it. But the issue with POR having to take matching salary would still be an issue, as would the issue for DAL of whether to go the less expensive route or more expensive route to the same end. Now if POR is willing to take McGee, in a simple 1-for-1, maybe there's room to talk snt.

My understanding is that Portland would be able to trade Thy into our MLE, that that's a thing in the new CBA, that it works like a trade exception.
