Can we build around Derek Lively?

There is a lot of room between Building around Lively and selling him off for a crappy asset.  I mean what do you think you are going to be able to get for him?  I doubt anyone is giving a first in this upcoming draft.

What we do know is that he is capable of playing elite level playoff defense and is an age that fits Flagg timeline.  We don't know if he will ever stay healthy, but I would rather be patient and see if he can get healthy than trade him for a crappy asset that is probably even less likely to turn into something valuable.

I can’t like this post enough!  Well said. End of conversation.
