They are up in HF complaining about the screw job they are the victim of because they don't get the cap credit for DK. Ignoring the fact that at the time of the trade it was clearly not in the cards as part of the deal, it's also ignoring that the penalty is in place to discourage teams from stretching contracts out to lower AAV (not sure if any of this is still in place in the current CBA), not to turn into a tradeable negative cap space asset.
They are still salivating over all the ways they can acquire PKane, ignoring the fact that sending multiple lineup players over for 1 player is probably a bad idea when you are already going to be running 2 players short. Not to mention that since PK "wants" to be an oiler so badly, CHI will only trade to the greasers for a low cost with the third party taking a pittance for their cap retention.
