After seeing what Pruitt brought to the game last night while TA was out, I'd like to see if these 2 can get a little burn to see if they can bring some energy and defense in short minutes. House hasn't been helping much lately so let's see if someone else can provide scoring from the backcourt.
As for them being trade fodder, I'm leaning the other way on it. I would not be surprised to see a minor move made where maybe Starbury joins the team with Sam becoming a fulltime coach and possibly a Baby/2nd round pick (or 2) for Joe Smith. Depending on how they do in the post season, I figure everyone but Powe and Ray with an expiring contract (House, TA, Scal and maybe Baby if he's still here for a sign and trade and possibly POB) get moved for a solid vet 4/5 player with a few years on their contract. If Ray doesn't get it back in gear this year, figure him to be moved too. Pruitt, Giddens and Walker offer more athleticism and cheaper contracts while going after an MLE player or two (in a salary split) in the offseason.
