    Ya I posted on that in one of these threads earlier.
    Since 2015 alone,

    Aldridge, Matthews, Lopez, Mo Williams, Dorrell Wright, Napier, Connaughton, Davis, Vonleh, Henderson, Crabbe, etc etc.

    Literally nothing in return, not even a second round pick.

    LA/Mathews/Lopez were all part of what was supposedly a deep playoff run. Its not surprising what happened there, you don't trade key pieces away if you are trying to make a deep playoff run. Most of the other players you listed will be signing very short and small contracts with other teams, not the type of players you could really get anything from more like throw ins for trades, I bet youd find a similar list for just about every team.The only exceptions really is Davis and Crabbe but Crabbe got such a big contract that he was incredibly hard to move.

    Can you even include crabbe? They got a significant trade exception for him. We’ll see if they use it.

    And if they don’t? It would mean we ended up stretching a contract for nothing but to not pay Crabbe.

    You're understating it - we PAID to get rid of both Crabbe and Vonleh.

    Yet, we can't let assets walk out the door for nothing - so we have to match Crabbe's ridiculous $18M/year contract.

    Great, now make a list for every other team. Is that number a lot or a little? I know the Spurs have let a huge number of players walk.

    Does Green replace Morris for them? Can we save them money by getting Morris and a pick?
