The list is silly, except perhaps for putting Smart at #1. However he is also the least likely to be traded, for the same reason that he is the best asset.

EVERYBODY on the roster is a trade asset at this point.

This list is worthless. I get the value of Jerebko's non-guaranteed salary, but worth more than AB, Hunter, Rozier, Young... I don't think so. I'd even throw Sully on there despite his RFA status.

edit: agreed on Olynyk though. Not even necessarily an elite protector. You could put Thaddeus Young next to Olynyk and they'd be a really good frontcourt.

How about Andre Drummond? Or is Olynyk too slow to play perimeter D? Maybe i just answered my own question.
K.O. defends the perimeter pretty well.  If anything it's his interior defense that needs to improve.  I believe Porzingis is the guy the C's really wanted.

Al Jefferson was our best young asset when he was traded.

It depends who you are getting in return. If we are going for a home run, I doubt they hesitate to include Smart if a team really likes him.

Blah list.

Rudy Gay isn't the right player for this team. I'm perfectly happy with the Cs making some moves prior to the deadline in order to compete, but they should know they're far from championship ready to mortgage their future on a Rudy Gay-esque player. Gay is the type of guy you bring in desperately to start winning, but it appears he always comes with an initial improvement to a team, some dazzling plays, 15-20 pts/night, yet eventually he stagnates.

I'd rather the Cs pass on everyone mentioned in that list. If they can't get a superstar that could really put us over the hump (that player isn't available), then I say do what you can this season to be .500 and if you miss the playoffs so be it.
Long-form is far from dead, but please refrain from paragraph-laden posts! Who wants to read that?!
