Not to mention you keep talking about resigning Sampson Harper etc, and theres probably a larger chance of an asteroid hitting us before 2015 arrives, then you having the SAME players on your team by the end of next season. In any case, Griffith is easily replacable, EJ too. Wooldridge>EJ/Griffith on rookie deals, let alone with them both on large multiyear deals or not even on your team at all. I LOL'd

Ok first of all I like Wooldridge, with bad hands and passing so I may be biased. I dont think hes a super stud, but I like him, and he has room to grow, and keeps improving. You keep saying youd have to trade Edwards, but its nonsense, and an excuse that u talked yourself into doing this deal. Yes...I talked myself into giving away Woolridge. You are talking about having no room next season? And you have Griffith and EJ you want to resign? Well good luck. Both are the worst kind of FA guys, the middle class guys, that dont deserve a max, or something near it, but theres always some fool lurking and may offer a large deal, or just a huge 2 year deal or something like that. So you have two options: 1. Overpay them, thus making them much harder to trade, and again clogging your cap space, probably for even more money and time then Zidek+Wooldridge 2. Offer them a realistic amount of money and risk losing them for nothing, which may easily happen, and then you realize that on top of that, you dont even have Wooldridge. The bottom line here is that my team is better with Griff/EJ/Harper/Sampson together then just having Woolridge. Woolridge is a career 16PPG scorer, and from my evaluation it was best to part with him. I fully understand the market value of Griff and EJ, and how free agency works in general but thanks for the refresher course.
So I think, mind some seriously lucky case where you resign them both to fair deals, you put yourself in a lose/lose position. I don't view being 15 million under the cap to start free agency and being in the position to resign my best player as a lose position. Not to mention you keep talking about resigning Sampson Harper etc, and theres probably a larger chance of an asteroid hitting us before 2015 arrives, then you having the SAME players on your team by the end of next season. If there's a chance to improve my team, ofcourse I'm going to pull the trigger. I don't know what the point of you even saying this is. Rosters change over all the time.
