is about as unpredictable as it's been in my lifetime.
As you say,
++ Dunn took chump change in 2009 for the purpose of coming back and snagging a juicier contract in 2010. ++
And it's easy to imagine finger-trigger games this winter as all of the players (and GM's) wait longer-than-usual for other dominoes to fall.
Thing is: you and I consider Dunn's $10M to be chump change, but last winter most of Seattle actually considered that an overpay. ... you're implying that a 2/$20M deal would be worth contorting for, but that you wouldn't want to go the 4/$60M that Dunn deserves.
