I certainly wouldn't give up a FRP for him but I guess it depends how draft night unfolds. I also don't like the idea of trading Maxi. You need to add a 3rd big to the rotation of Powell and Maxi (and God willing, our draft pick).
He was a way better player prior to this season. There were a lot of factors involved in this season being a disaster. If he gets back to the player he was before, then that contract is an asset. I would not send out the pick for him, and I don't want to send out Maxi for him. I would send out THJ, and if I think he is going to rebound to his prior self I would probably do Bullock if I had to.
My preference is still to send the pick and salary for Capela or Turner. I don't think its reasonable to expect a late first big to bring significant contributions right away, and that is the one thing this team needs. If we draft a big, it would be a long-term replacement for Powell or Maxi, and we would still need something in the short term.
