Hmmmmm.... Do I smell a last second try to re-sign Lowry?

Good point there, I was just thinking salary dump, but Garcia ($18.05M) + Guao ($8.5M) = $26.55M, more then enough to bring Lowry back.

But, looking at the rough numbers from the BNN reports, Connecticut looks like they're about $10M short of what Lowry would be asking.

Maybe another move on the horizon, or is it just a salary dump to get CON back in the green?

Looking at CON salary page, he could non-tender LF Russell Wright and MR David Gutierrez and that would theoretically give him the funds to bring back Lowry.

It wouldn't be a "non-tender" though, he'd have to release them now, so he has time to offer Lowry the extension.

Sorry for not adding the links, John. I was already in bed when I posted the trade. You just beat me to it.
