    In a fire sale why would you trade your 2nd year center who made the All-Rookie team last year for peanuts?

    Teams ate desperate to clear money and start over. Neil doesn't get this, but it's a thing

    He asked for a trade, Hornacek didn’t trust him, and there were evidently concerns about his defense and work ethic.

    Just what I read, I don’t actually know why. But that return seems low, so maybe those concerns are real.

    New York is also trying to trade O'Quinn and Lee; and of course want to get rid of Noah. If we can't find a better deal, I would be OK with Turner, Harkless and Davis for those three. We get the best player in the deal and he is a better fit and O'Quinn is at least as good as Ed, isn't he?

    In 72 games last year as a 22 yr old rookie, Willy averaged 8/7 in only 18 mpg.
    1. Why would you not play him, when you're a shit team to begin with?
    2. Why would you give him up for that little return?

    At least we wouldn't feel obligated to play Noah.
