    Protect the guys that are producing. Yes, I know Crabbe and Turner have high contracts, but I think talent is hard to find. Those guys played significant minutes last year because they produced.

    Vonleh was the tough decision for me. But I think the potential of Collins and Swanigan will make Vonleh expendable soon. I'm getting tired of waiting for Vonleh's potential to come thru. Collins and Swanigan have a higher ceiling in my opinion.

    Everyone else (Aminu, Davis, Connaughton, Layman, Napier and Leonard) is easily replaceable.

    No, they played significant minutes because there was nobody else worth playing and we just paid them a boatload of money.
    I protect Vonleh because he actually has trade value - I'd much rather get something for him, rather than let another team pick him up without giving us anything in return.

    I wouldn't protect Meyers or Sly if there was a military draft.

    You were close but why would you protect the worst contract in the NBA over our best defender?

    Dame
    CJ
    Nurk
    Collins
    Hark
    Turner
    Biggie
    Aminu

    The pull - out method isn't very effective. I'd go with the protection personally.
