    We have 16 players right now. If we don't do a trade, somebody's got to be waived before the start of the season. I'm not asking who you think is the scrubbiest player, I'm asking now who you would least mind seeing included in a trade (let's assume you think that the trade is a fair one). So, if Brandon Roy mugged your Granny, but Dante Cunningham saved your kitten from a tree, then you would pick Roy as least attached, even though you recognize that Roy is more valuable. Get it? Good.

    Rudy Fernandez. Rudy, light me up and score 40 on me, Fernandez. Next, Oden. Greg, take me before Durant and I'll play in 28% of the games, Oden.

    Andre Miller. Not a fan, despite the fact that I recognize that he is a good player.

    Pendergraph. I don't like how his noise to production ratio is so incredibly out of balance.

    Pendy, Dante, Mills, and all our rookies, I don't really care much for. They can all be throw-ins in a trade if needed.

    If we're talking significant players, I would be pretty apathetic if we trade away Joel, because I think he's done.

    Elliott Williams cuz we haven't seen him at all really.

    Then Rudy/Mills, Babbit, Johnson.

    Mills, 'cause he's the lowest pick of the bunch. Least invested=easiest to part with.

    I voted Patty but could also have gone with Pendegraph. Jeff has virtually zero chance of ever being an acceptable role player in the NBA. He was absolutely atrocious last season, clearly our worst player and cost the team wins. Shavlik Randolph or Jarron Collins would have been more productive if they had the chance to be on the roster.

    Is Pendergraph by default valuable because we're so thin up front (especially given Greg and Joel starting the season slowly)?
    Makes me think that a consolidation trade better bring back someone 6'10" or taller.

    How can people say Andre. He was arguably our 2nd most valuable player last year.

    Because it's not about who's most valuable. You can even pick Roy if he pisses you off. Remember, if he goes, it's in a fair trade (which, let's hope, is for Deron Williams).

    Ok, this is a strange poll, and I don't quite get it, but I picked Matthews.

    Can't miss what you never had.

    Are those the only choices? I picked #17. I would not miss him one bit if he were gone.
    Sure would be great to replace him
    Seems like we could get someone better in that role
    Could be wrong though
    Like that's never happened before
    On second thought no, he would not be missed
    Wesley Matthews is another guy I thought about choosing because he has never really been here
    Never the less, I chose #17

    Then he's signifying nothing.

    So what. During a nice portion of the JailBlazers era ZBo was our best and most valuable player and many were not attached to him.

    What does one has to do with the other.

    All of the above. I stopped getting attached to players after the demise of the Drexler teams. Any trade that improves the team is a good trade.
