The risk is offering them fallback in the first place. regardless of it's 1 year or 2, that's the risk. if no one takes them that's their fault. Fleming will be a extra 12M to Washington's payroll, and that is the risk.
here is my question...what exactly is this trying to fix, or benefit? removing cash? making it a tough decision on us to decide should we comp him at A or B? I see it as an unnecessary fix to something that isn't really broke. it's like Burger King always trying to add something else to its burgers. Just gimme a hamburger hold the onion. I don't need onion rings and 4 patties and a christmas elf in my burger.
If you want to fix something, lets talk about being able to trade someone at the end of the file who is 1 year away. I should be allowed to extend someone and trade him if a trade gets done. It's done in the MLB, why not here. B/c it's against the sign and trade rule? How so, that rule is for teams in FA who pick up someone like Fleming, then try to dump him off for a 3rd round pick. I already own Player XYZ, If I want to extend him and trade him, how does that violate anything other than being a GM in real life?
