As we approach the trade deadline, we really need to come to a decision on this.
Some people are twisting the idea behind this. It's not that Type A's are getting two year offers, so making fallback 16M/2 won't change anything. In fact it's doubling the risk. Those teams potentially being stuck with a guy for two years will change things. The current risk is just 16M for essentially an early 2nd as opposed to a 32M risk.
