... The League Office and Sandlot engaged in hearty discussions. We went back and forth several times and I thank him for the fruitful and friendly negotiation. We both seem to value players similarly which made it easier and more challenging all at once. 


Anyhow, I think DEN is giving up the best player in Trey Murphy. However with DEN in a rebuild and looking for a new owner, I felt this package of players and prospects makes more sense for a legal tank this season with an eye towards being an easy sell in the offseason or sooner.

Clippers to confirm. Will leave this deal posted for a bit to make sure no one has objections.

LAC confirm.

Wanted to improve my roster balance and targeted Murphy as an elite shooter with solid all-around play. Picked up a couple of nice upside pieces that replace the solid upside I am giving out in Cam, Trayce and WCJ.

Appreciate the great talks as always my friend, and hopefully that team finds a deserving owner that can reap the benefits of the moves the League Office is making for them.
