Every team in the league would think about this though. 25 year olds that look really good, all star caliber, but have missed their window to go to Europe, are kind of gold in the league. There are so few guys with this profile in the league
Kamal Miller price to Portland ($625K guaranteed, another $150K in conditional payments) would be less than I would expect this to cost, given that Choiniere is still improving and has a higher ceiling. Miller isn’t an MLS all star, and plays a position that teams generally don't pay up for.
Arriola's deal, $2M in GAM when he was 26, is an interesting comparable. That would be too much. Arriola had 30-40 USMNT caps at the time that deal happened.
It may not be us, Joey can’t possibly be stupid enough to trade him here, Impact fans would never forgive him… but if he goes, it's for what Kaye got or more.
