Trading or cutting Gurley before the new CBA would have been prohibitive because until the new CBA was signed, there was no June 1 option.
Once the new CBA was voted in there was suddenly a June 1st option again.
Without the June 1st option for Gurley at least, cutting or trading them both would have been complete cap disaster. The hit would have been too high.
The June 1st option at least partially addresses that, making it much more do-able.
So the people who were saying earlier on it would have cost too much were right--until the June 1 option kicked in with the new CBA, it was too much.
