Sorry, I don't understand the reasoning behind this type of question.  If I was running the show, I would keep all four.  They each provide a different value to the team.

Depends on what I'm getting back in return.

Maybe to answer the question that I think you're actually asking: each of those players provides things that the team needs; so if I'm losing/trading one of them I need to somehow replace those things.

Pritchard is the obvious answer.  He's unplayable when he's in a shooting slump, as we saw the first four months of the season.

Pretty much.

I would like to think that Payton may have turned the corner similar to the change that Grant made.  If that is the case, Payton is very valuable to this team.  I understand that is a big get but why not, Grant was considered worthless at times last year.

Ime, like Brad before him, is looking at a bigger picture. In the case of Grant, he was always a rotation player with Brad; and in fact he's been in the rotation since he started in the league. The average fan is focused on a narrow view of what a player is actually doing.

Obviously you'd drop Horford. What's your answer the original question? Wait, I thought you weren't responding to this thread anymore?

I don't think that it's very surprising that once Payton got consistent minutes, his shooting%s perked right up.

Nothing in return -- you just have to cut one.

I think that one of the big pitfalls for fans is to assume that there's a one-dimensional scale that all players fit on. The reality is more interesting.

Pritchard. I responded because this isn't really a trade question.

You'd still have to add a rotation-quality player to replace what you're losing. That's why I said that. Each of those players adds different things. Incidentally Daniel Theis might have been a better one on this list than Robert Williams, since he's a starter.

I suppose I should admire your persistence in your anti-Derrick White campaign; and I must say I'm not bothered by it. It's one of those discussions that makes you take a closer look at what you actually know vs. your impressions and assumptions.
