Here's my "try to make this palatable" take:
a. No NMC plus less salary might make Lucic tradable - more than Neal at this point.
b. The NMC also makes Lucic buriable going forward. So maybe this is a pure cap space issue. Maybe makes Tkahcuk an easier signing.
c. It does address toughness I guess.
d. I got nothing else.
