Granted these are expensive BENCH minutes, and Randolph may have difficulty accepting this role.</p> <p>To me Crawford for Kidd is a wash.</p> <p>All told you take on longer contracts.</p> <p>The second trade is motivated to get small for big, while taking advantage of IND "chemistry" problems.</p> <p>http://www.storytellerscontracts.info/resources/07-08salaries.htm</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Thoughts on trade.</h5> <div id="poll_container_28292_603261608" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">79%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Neither trade is good</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">23</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">6%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Randolph trade is workable (good, or minor changes)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">2</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">10%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Tinsley trade is workable (good, or minor changes)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">3</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">3%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Both trades are workable (good, or minor changes)</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>29</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_28292_603261608').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset>
