The Kyrie effect in case it gets out that they've been taking calls he won't get mad like Kyrie and request a trade again. 

Kyrie left because LeBron is a terrible teammate not because the Cavs were entertaining calls about him.

We offer a 3rd....they decline and counter with our 2nd. We pass and decide on a 3rd this year + 5th in '19 maybe.

If we let Norwell and Star walk, we should net a couple of solid comp picks next year. Gotta think one third this year (essentially KB for Bryant) and a later pick next year (means nothing with the comp picks) would get us a helluva playmaker for Cam.

Maybe the moves we're making now aren't necessarily for Norwell/Star/Watkins, but a potential extension for Martavis after 2018. He will be in his prime on a prove-it deal. 

Martavis Bryant 2018 contract: $705k

Jarvis Landry 2018 expected contract: $14M/yr.

Sammy Watkins 2018 expected contract: $7-8M/yr.

Now, maybe Bryant wants a new contract upon the trade which could get tricky given his past...but Bryant is my numero uno desire for this offense heading into 2018.

I was going off that report he got mad after he heard they were talking to people openly about trading him. But yea Bron suspects as a teammate unless your Dwade.

  Sounds like a good plan. I’ve been leaning towards this scenario for awhile now. Like the comp pick angle and upside is tremendous. I’ll risk a 3rd(and something late) for that. And the salary gives some freedom to address another position by signing a player that gets cut.

  Although I think they are trying to drive his price, the Steelers would be better off keeping him. They are still SB contenders and Bryant gives them great insurance in case of injury. Plus he’s one nice 3rd WR that allows JuJu to play the slot. Hard to say if that’s worth a 3rd to them, at this time. But Bryant isn’t going to be happy being the 4th option in the passing game, and they may just want to get something while they can.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
