AHA! I was wondering why you disappeared from the thread.
So now that you've come clean, I have a question.
Since you think Lynch is the better one to have and just wanted to capitalize on the AP consensus, once you saw that no one would make the trade you wanted, why not just take Lynch + anything for AP? From your perspective, it's still free goodies. I'm assuming Brian would have done something less than Lynch + 1.1x comp to bridge the gap (like Lynch + 2nd or Lynch + 3rd).
