Re Kleber and his shooting slump, not sure if this has been made a part of the discussion ...
But, I wonder if his shooting woes this season are intertwined to his nagging injury issues. The shot starts in the legs, and if you don't get the same spring in your feet or legs, it can easily go awry. Trying to compensate while not 100% is inevitable, but makes it all worse. The solution is to get back to 100%, but he's been in and out of the lineup all year.
If this is what's going on, then whether to trade him, and his future value here, is greatly determined by the prognosis for becoming fully healthy again. I don't even know exactly what is hurt, much less if and when he might become healed, but I think that's likely a HUGE part of the evaluation equation with him.
