Sure has been mentioned before, but this was really one of the "take advantage of our cap space" trades that Feaster was talking about all summer. Hoping to see more of those - cashing in on other teams' desperation. With two thirds of the league tight on cap space and some others operating on internal caps, I would hope there'll be some sweet trade opportunities along the way.
