Avs have 2.8m left in cap room so Backs at 50% and taking a contract back is doable. Also gives us $1.7m in cap space. Might be able to get 1 or 2 bargain ufas near league minimum with the space we would open up. Can move one of the C they brought in to wing and put backs in top 9.
Not ideal return but if we can make cap room to bring in a good player, might have to think of it from that perspective, if we are wanting to improve the team in the off season in a tight market. As much as we think Backs should fetch a bigger return, the market is the market. And just don’t want the distraction during the season.

I don't see it being a distraction at all and I would rather see what the deadline brings or how the team is competively than deal him at 50% retained for a cap dump and a late 3rd.
