    Sure down the line. You can match on someone like Mo or Crabbe and then trade them at the deadline pretty easy. They have value (which is why teams are supposedly going to submit offers for both as soon as tomorrow). Cutting lose an asset isn't a great idea imo. I could understand if it was Roberts-level....

    I hear you. But if they have to cut him loose to sign ezeli because they think he will help, i think they do it. Especially if they believe in patty c as much as was said.

    I cant find it, but I saw a list of stats that was ordered by points allowed % and Festus wasn't too far behind Whiteside. Festus could be a guy who thrives with increased opportunity. He's also shown he's capable of playing in a system similar to that of Portland.

    Depends on the salary. If we can keep Crabbe too then it's ok as we get our rim protector and a good one if he can stay healthy. In any case I hope the contract is not for more than 2 years as it's a gamble.

    Harkless would lose playing time to Turner anyway and with the salary he'll be asking (I don't think less than 10M) he is not worth having just because we need him as an asset. You don't keep players that you don't really need and pay them such a high salary. As for Leonard I prefer to wait and see how Vonleh develops, he is much more promising and 2.5 years younger. Leonard is sooo slow, almost pathetic.

    So if we just have to give up Harkless and Leonard for Ezeli then I think it is worth it.

    Yeah... Idk if I'll be able to watch our team when a 20million dollar player is sitting on the bench in a suit with torn up knees again. The NBA is already gonna be damn near unwatchable next season anyway when its gonna be the Whorriors and their 29 slaves.
