    I agree on Plumlee (if we sign a big this summer) but not really on Crabbe because we don't have an in-house replacement for him. I like Mo a lot but he should stick to SF mostly (and a little small-ball PF here and there). So if we trade Crabbe it almost has to be another guy who plays SG pretty well and you don't usually have deals for same position from both teams. I guess if Mo really REALLY worked on his 3's then I could see him at spot duty at SG but his handles probably aren't great enough either.

    I think if we sign Leonard then he is the most likely of the 3 RFA's that we sign for the idea of trading eventually.

    ^^^Yeah, I think everything hinges on what we do at C. Personally I feel that if we get Howard/Whiteside then Meyers is a keeper and Plumlee is gone. If we strike out on upgrading C through Free Agency or summer trades then I can see us using Meyers as a trade piece mid-season.

    I also envision any Crabbe-trade we make being multiple players going out AND coming in - so while we'd be losing our back-up SG we'd be getting his replacement as an ancillary player packaged with the guy we're targeting.

    I love your use of Adonal Foyle. I'm gonna use this in my daily life. "I gotta get a beer, the kids were cranky Adonal Foyle today."
