Teams won't need 4 million for Hudler, nor 2.6 for Russell. We're over halfway through the seasons, half their salaries are gone. For a team to add Hudler today they'd need 2 million, towards the deadline it diminishes down to about one. A deadline acquisition of Russell would only be a cap hit of under 900k. (rough estimates)
Plus team's have a lot more space at the deadline. According to general fanager, Arizona has 50 million in space at the deadline
