The cons outweigh the pros IMO, though this statement is if you look at the trade as stand-alone. If this is just a small piece of what's to come (like I suggested, maybe a max-contract player), then my opinion may change.

The fact of the matter is that almost 3/4s of this board were complaining about paying Mike James 6 mil a year, yet they have no problem paying Rasho 2 million more than that despite his productivity being less than a third.
