It's the whole "deadlines spur action" thing in motion again and once again, here with are with our cock in our hand.

Of course the Quennin Williams contract has something to do with it. It's not that he wants 30, but if Williams gets 28 or Williams gets 24, it absolutely should have some bearing on the market-clearing price because it defines how much an outlier the Donald contract is.
Every team in every sport tends to negotiate to deadlines as they do indeed tend to spur action. Chris Jones is under contract for this season. It's not as if we're at risk of losing his production for this year because we weren't able to get a deal done.
Veach is instead supposed to be 100% certain that CJ won't come down off 30mm and proactively trade him back in March? That's the strategy you're sure would've been a better one?
