Assume that within the next two summers, Francisco Garcia signs the same contract John Salmons signed before 2006-07: about $25.5 million over five years. Salmons is signed through 2012, Garcia would be signed through 2013.

You have to include one of them in a deal for, say, a point guard or power forward. You have to include one, but just one. The other team doesn't care which one, and in fact tells you to choose.

You can only keep one. Which one do you choose? Why?

My answer/explanation will come on Thursday. I'm real curious about this one.
