    Why trade collier and rice, their contracts are up next year trading tham might bring us extra baggage with larger longer contracts, since they hold no real value, let their contract expier and let them become free agents. Why not try to move Mooch and Taylor while they still have value?

    Because they both now suck and fit into the Matt Maloney "we made a mistake and are still paying them, but thought these guys were such a bad mistake, we'd rather be paying them to play for someone else" type of mold.

    I know that they suck right now. The only thing is that they really don't hold any value. And Say we take on an mediaocre player for $5 mill a year for the next 4 years, in exchange for them. That means that we onyl have $5 mill left to offer, but if hold onto them, and let them expire, in 2003-04, we have an extra 10 mill to offer a superstar athlete.

    Wishful thinking. Both Rice and Collier are signed through 2004.
