No way I'd be taking him on. But lots of people here seem to think he'll be worth a lot next deadline. I don't...but I could be wrong.

The suggestion was they could move him after paying his bonus with a mediocre sweetener.

Now it is retaining half his cap, paying his bonus and adding in a 2nd round pick. That’s quite if bit more than a mediocre sweetener.

Apples and oranges.

It really depends if he can still play. There seems to be lots of doubt about that.

If you can get Kuz 50% retained with a first, I'm sure someone might do it. But I expect Washington might be a bit leery. They're two years as a 8 seed, and two years out with an old roster. So I doubt they want to give their first to off him. Plus this offseason will be very different than 2022 summer. Almost every team will have space to add players.

From the individual to their issues, their ages, and their cap hits, there is nothing similar about the two.
