I however also think he’ll cost a good deal more than Cap to acquire (at least 1 more FRP worth in value, if not more).Then in 2 years after we’ve spent the assets to obtain him and Lively is ready to start, we’ve put ourselves in the same position Atl finds themselves in now.
It’s a pretty good position to be in, however, there is some doubt about being able to sell 1 or the other for appropriate compensation (is 1 of them demanding out possibly or other things that lower value), and does that at least replenish the value we used to get Allen.
In all, I’d also rather have the potential “problems” of acquiring Allen. The other thing is, Allen as far as reports go, is staying put. At least for now, while Cap still seems very much up for grabs.
Let's say it takes THJ, 27FRP, and J.Green (or Hardy) for J.Allen
TDL 2026 we have an expiring 27yo J.Allen and a 22yo Lively with a year left on his contract. That puts us in the drivers seat to resign one of them long term and move one of them for the roster's most pressing need at that time. Kinda a nice place to be.
