    His contract is eligible to be traded starting Sunday. Maybe his agent has told him something...

    There is zero chance anyone will take him unless we add a pick. If we offer someone Ezeli and a first round pick for a second round top-55 protected or something, they might.

    I think he was already eligible to be traded, but maybe he's getting packagedwith someone like Harkless, who doesn't become eligible until tomorrow (technically tonight at 9pm)

    But maybe it's not even a trade. Maybe Portland is applying for the DPE? That deadline is January 15, but it wouldn't require him to be taken off the roster so that's probably not it. Maybe he's going to retire?

    I know Harklelss isn't near untouchable but man I would hate to see him go. Better be for a very nice player is all I have to say if that is the case.

    Harkless is our most valuable trade chip outside of dame and CJ just because his salary is such a bargain for a player of his profile. If we want an impact center, and don't want to break up the backcourt, were probably gonna have to bite the bullet.

    I hope not, but I guess it would depend on who we get back in return. We got him for nothing, so if we can flip him for an impact player that's great. Hopefully we see a trade in the next couple of days or we are all gonna be crazy until the deadline.

    I think @gatorpops observation here gives the speculation some meat http://www.sportstwo.com/posts/4058343/

    The way Terry explained Harkless' scratch in the press conference seemed very blind-sided; he supposedly found out an hour before tip.

    Whiteside played last night
    Brook Lopez played last night
    Cousins played last night
    Bogut DNP, hamstring injury
    Noel played last night
    Chandler played 38 minutes on Friday.

    Who am I missing from our center trade prospect list? My caffeine holding tank is only half full.

    Maybe it's not for a center?

    I am going out on a limb here and say Hark/Festis for Nerlens.
    (Maybe Neil has given PHI the choice of Patty or Myers or Mo or Crabbe + Festis a choice.)

    (sorry about spelling)

    That's what I was thinking.

    I still want Noel. Seems like Philly has been showcasing him.

    Denver, good catch, thanks.

    Denver is in love with Jokic
    Nurkic played 8 minutes on Friday.

    Nurkic had a 7 games stretch of less than 10 mpg, most where DNP. And then prior to Friday’s game, 5 games around 20 mpg most over 20 mpg. Could be showcasing for a trade?

    I hope I am wrong but I think Neil likes Okafor more than Noel (which would suck if I am correct).
