    LOL.

    12 points 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 5-11 from the field. Sounds like a showcase to me ... showcasing just how awesome he is :wink:

    if we make a major move .....Bayless will have to be included along with Travis...face it. Bayless has more trade value than Frye,Sergio,and the rest..our major trading chips are RLEC.Bayless and Outlaw! Contary to some of the trade ideas We have read on here the other GMs arent idiots...no one is going to give us something for nothing..So whats your poison?

    A guy like Richard Jefferson won't cost Bayless.

    A guy like Caron Butler will cost Bayless.

    So it depends on the deal.

    HOWEVER, if it's a smaller deal, then Sergio is the one more likely to go.

    Man, I want to keep Bayless!! I love his game, and we need people who take the ball to the hoop. If we had to trade Bayless to get someone, I'd be tempted to just forget about it.

    my poison? Bayless is probably desirable, but do you seriously think that it's going to take Bayless included in a trade to get back value in a defensive wing? RLEC, Travis, Ike's expiring deal, Channing's expiring deal, Martell, Batum, Sergio, these are our "movable" assets in pursuit of a starting quality 3. Nice try at creating a false dilemma though.

    I dont see it as a false dilema..again is what you want..

    Martell has no value..he has been hurt.

    Sergio has been up and down.

    Channing hasnt played...neither has Ike.

    Those pieces arent going to get us the names we have heard about..that will take Bayless and Outlaw!

    No dilema just the facts

    That's not true. He has less value, but teams are still going to look at him.

    By himself, he won't get you anything, but as a throw in, you might be able to convince another team.
    They are expiring contracts
    And what names would those be?

    Facts? Don't you mean your opinions? Truth is nobody outside of KP and the trading parther's Gm knows exactly what it's going to take to land a particular player, but RLEC is a huge chip, when you are talking about getting a wing it's likely that the trading partner is going to want a wing in return, so Travis and Batum's names are more likely to come up than a rookie point guard.

    We get it, you're a big Sergio honk, and want Jerryd moved so the cult doesn't have to pick up stakes and move to another team.

    We're showcasing Bayless like we're showcasing Roy.

    I agree with You B-roy about a smaller deal not costing us either Baylees or Outlaw..guys like Kurt Thomas or Ime. But the names we keep talking about are Caron Butler...Richard Jefferson..Vince Carter...Deng....Rudy Gay. We cant expect to get those guys without giving up Bayless or Outlaw.

    I think they're showcasing Oden. Since he's been declared a bust we should try and get Conley for him.

    Honestly....I think we can get all of those players except Butler, without the use of Bayless.

    If I was a Sergio HONK i would not pay Baylees the respect I did by stating he had much more Trading Value than Sergio!

    At last you got something right tho

    I would prefer a cut Rodriguez before I would want a trade Bayless scenario
