    ...before the rest of the league figures out that he will exercise his player option for 2012-13.

    Agree. Stop the fucking madness. This experiment failed. You move on. You can still put yourself in a position to retool on the fly and come out with a team that has a better future in 2013. We're not winning anything this season, so move the guys that aren't in the long term plans.

    I agree.

    But hopefully we can get more talent in return than a Dante Cunningham type.

    Gerald plays great - Blazers blow teams out

    Gerald plays crappy - Blazers play crappy and lose

    He's the deciding factor in games right now

    Because McMillian plays him 35m regardless. Need to bench him more on road games and give nico more time

    He had no option this game but in general I agree.

    Nic should be starting though, whether for Wallace or Wesley it doesn't matter. Can't really be too picky with Nate right now.

    I wouldn't have a problem with that. Nic did fine at the 2 against Utah. He's got everything it takes to be a 2.

    Hold onto him and let him walk. Get the cap space. Make a run at Eric Gordon or Deron Williams.

    No because he would have then have the choice of opting is next year, IMO much better to try to trade him now and get some value

    What do you trade him for that doesn't eat into our cap space?

    Player changes won't make any difference as long as we have the same coach.

    Why let him walk? You can sign him, and still get Dwill.
