There's absolutely no rush to get this done over the summer unless Winters puts in a self imposed deadline that they won't talk extension during the season, and I don't see that happening, Gio is a high character guy.

I think we're tilting at windmills, even if this is true, and we don't know that, its the opening position. Gio and Winter's are smart enough to know that there's going to be an exchange of term for dollars if he truly has a desire to stay here for the year.

I don't doubt that he's going to be paid in the upper realm of players in this league, but my gut tells me that its a 8 and 5 deal.

And I don't mind that at all.

if it does come down to a trade, it probably extends the rebuild by a couple of years, but the assets that come back would be formidable.
