    This team has so many issues right now that I don't see a player we can get that can turn it even remotely close to a contender. Keep all young guys and picks and tank. We suck right now and by February we we will be just hoping to get into 8th place and all that if Nurk comes back as he was before injury which is not a real possibility for this season. I didn't expect this to be that bad, but it is that bad.

    Trading either or both for a top tier talent shouldn't be a question, since neither are close to being a top tier talent.

    Those hesitating to trade one or the other are foolish

    But Zach can actually guard those positions

    I say trade for Love, bring back Meyers, and start Meyers, Love, Melo, CJ, Dame and give everyone in attendance a new car if the other team scores less than 150

    I do agree that neither is untouchable by a long margin. But, I also disagree with the premise that we need to trade one of them. If we intend to keep CJ and Dame together, then I would argue Ant is more expendable than two of the best defensive players we have. If you move CJ and replace that position with better defense, then you have more options.

    Just when you stop beating the horse, a fan will stand up and says 'WE CAN'T TRADE HOARD, HE'S UNTOUCHABLE'...says no fan ever.

    I wouldn't get rid of any of them because neither Nurk or Collins have shown to be healthy consistently.

    He probably does like Zach better cuz he had to pursue him, while Little just fell in his lap! :)
