Ok, how about when you factor in that they supposedly were trading Hopkins because they were in cap hell and Hopkins was only making 13 per year?

Now, its obvious they traded Hopkins because he didnt get along with BoB but that wasn't the reason given that he was on the block.

And when you are only saving 4 per year to go from Hopkins to Cobb, you are losing.
