I think it's interesting that Bowman made this trade conditional on him not matching the offer sheets. It shows that Armstrong was truly interested in adding these two pieces and he thinks they are valuable to the future of his organization/wasn't just looking to f*** EDM on their cap.
If this ends up becoming a more common occurrence (offer sheet followed by not matching + trade between the two teams involved), I can see this being a topic of discussion when they are drafting the next CBA.
My understanding is that the purpose of an offer sheet is not to be used as a work around to a trade.
