    Since Ben is on a minimum deal, any team can trade for him, doesn't need a tpe. So should make it even easier to deal him.

    One of the reasons I feel like we need to move cj now, and not wanting for the offseason. Now, people have expiring that could help shed salary. In the offseason, there's not going to be that option, we'd end up having to pay someone like okc to use their space for contract fillers.

    If we could get Grant for Norm and Simmons for CJ/RoCo, I think that team could actually make some noise.

    Dame
    Simons
    Simmons
    Grant
    Nurk

    With Nas, Nance, and maybe a lottery pick coming off the bench?

    If we dont bring in guys to play their positions or move them next week, I see that as a realistic scenario.

    Sure wish that would happen. Since it won't, I won't allow myself to dream of it.

    also. putting my tinfoil hat on.

    i don't think it's a coincidence that larry nance has been upgraded to "questionable" for the game tmrw instead of being "out."
