That would be a nice thought. Rashard would finally solidify the SF. Allen would solidify the 2.

TRADE ACCEPTED


Seriously doubt it though. Allen is in the last year of his contract, and I don't think they would take on Finley's 3 more, even if you threw in the #1.

Good thoughts, and maybe they work something out. I just doubt it because if they were working on something with them, I would have expected them to do it all at once with the Fortson -- Booth stuff as well.
