Even shipping one out with our 1st, we aren't opening up any space. I'd rather take the young prospect on a cheap contract and see how everything is fitting by next season TDL.
The downside to not shipping one or even two of them at the draft or before next season, is that is a very expensive bench with the chance of causing problems in the locker room - much like what Bertans was explaining in Washington. Cap-wise there may be no rush but for hierarchy and locker-room cohesion it might be imperative. Not to mention tax implications.
My assumption is that one or two of them will be moved before next season. I'm also holding out hope that Nico has a working plan and not forgetting that he was brought here to land a STAR. The thought of his close relationship with Dame still lingers in my mind and what POR did at the TDL makes me think there could be something there... All it takes is Dame saying trade me to Dallas.. ie Harden.
