I one of the biggest questions facing management imo, is since Dames only got a few years left on contract and soon to be 31, and the most valuable asset the team has, should they trade him and start over? I wouldn't unless he makes it privately known he'd like to move on after his contract is up and they could work out something good for both.
1 - yes 2 - a) yes b) yes 3 - no 4 - yes 5 - yes 6 - no 7 - yes 8 - Utah, Suns, Nuggs, Clippers, Lakers 9 - yes
