It would be insane. And the money isn't even that bad.
Their combined contracts: $9.45M
At 50% each: $4.725M (so a team with $0 space would need to send back a $5M cap hit)
For a team with banked cap, they would only need $1.325M of banked space to take both (at 50%) for the remainder of the season.
I would think getting both (retained) would require an A prospect (like top 20 in the league), a B prospect, a 1st, and another pick.
(when I say A and B, I mean where A is expected to be a star, and a B is expected to be top 6 / top 4)
