But thats my point. This isn't Wes Unseld or Isaiah riding this horse. This is Donnie Walsh. Is he really going to give away unprotected draft picks to free up that kind of space when all he has to rely on is hope especially considering those contracts would be gone by the following summer anyway?

Walsh has been given some kind of assurance that he will have a reasonable shot at landing two big free agents. That is pure speculation but that guy has a track record for being smarter than most everyone else in the room.
