I'm not talking in terms of value, I'm talking about which guys would you miss the most. So what we would get for them in a trade doesn't matter for this conversation. This is about watching games, not reading stats. Who gone would sting the most?

IT4 would be my pick, he is my favorite player on the team, and by far the most fun to watch. Dominates the league running pick and roll, I think he was in like the top 94% with it. Great shooter, can get to the rim, lights up the 4th quarter. If he were to get traded I'd go bonkers.

I'd have to say Smart right now, close second for me is Young because I'm praying he turns into an offensive machine and it would kill me if we traded him and he did.

At this point it'd be Smart, but I'm not particularly attached to anybody on the roster at the moment.

I'd trade the whole lot of them for a single real star, or a couple of young, high level players with room to grow.

Agreed.

Smart yes but Young??? Have I missed something? I just watched every game last season and the few games he played in he was terrible. Can't get his own shot and barely can make an undefended wide open shot.
.258 3 pt %
.353 FG%
.552 FT %

He can't get his own shot - not big enough to rebound, can't pass, can't defend - so why is everyone so enamored with this guy???

Yes, you missed that he was a kid still in his teens.

Most of these kids are in their teens when they come out. I am sorry I wish he could play but he just can't.

Smart.  I keep hoping that we find a way to add other talent around him because I can easily envision him being a very important 3 - 5th wheel on a championship team.  And I just think his intensity is fun to watch.

I also agree on Young (depending on the return).  I happen to believe that by the time Young is 22 or so he is going to be a very impressive offensive player.  And if he figures out how to play any semblance of defense a very valuable starting SF.

That is funny 22 or so - let's invest 5 years into a guy that if he becomes a legit NBA player by the 5th year he can sign elsewhere. I wish we could draft kids in middle school and wait 10-12 years for their development.
