A team not 400 miles to the south tried a similar strategy of trading a superstar player on a rookie contract all in the name of supposedly being cap-wise when he needed a new deal.

The James Harden trade continues to **** OKC in the ass. They became a worse team the year that happened, all under the false notion that no team can afford 3 superstar contracts.

Yes, the NBA is far different from the NFL, but that's essentially the logic some people are using in this thread of why it might be smart to trade Peters. You use draft picks to acquire talent. When you hit on that talent, you keep those players. You don't trade them for the opportunity to acquire more talent that you don't have to pay until their rookie deals run out.

If Peters is that much of a pain in the ass and Reid/Veach don't want him around the team anymore, then fine. They know more about the situation than I do. But don't just trade a guy just because you'll have to pay him one day.
