    Like I said, nothing to see here. We don't want to give up our youth (as we shouldn't), and nobody wants our scraps and/or garbage. The expiring contract of Roy Hibbert would be lucky to get us a 2nd round pick, nobody wants Swaggy P even though he's on a reasonable contract because we've destroyed his value, and the same probably is true for Bass. Good player we have made look like s***. What's left, Sacre? Kelly? Lol.

    They can be interested in our young players. They aren't getting Russell or Randle. I would think about moving Clarkson and Nance in a package for the right piece though.

    I WOULD give up Clarkson though and Nance if it brought back a quality player that's still relatively young. I like Clarkson, but I'm not sold on him being our sg of the future. If Nance + Clarkson + Bass could land us a quality building block that is a little older, I'd think about it. Granted, I don't have anyone in particular in mind.

    I don't agree with moving any of our young players, but if I had to move 2 guys it certainly would be Clarkson and Nance. Russell and Randle have the highest ceilings in my opionion.

    I agree, but JC's work ethic is first rate. I want him to (wait for it) rub off on the other guys.

    Maybe Mitch could trade Roy for Pau. Lightning strikes twice. Pop in San Antonio wouldn't even give a crap this time, we're in such sorry shape.

    I don't want to move them. I'm just saying for the right piece. A player like Harrison Barnes ( if GS decided they couldn't afford to keep him) or like Khris Middleton who brings a great skill set we desperately need.

    I doubt Clarkson, Nance and some filler vets it done though. But that's the type of player I'm talking about. You aren't going to get a star for them, but another young player that is slightly older that fills a need.

    At this point, I think the Bucks would rather move Parker than Middleton.

    Okafor is available... They are seeing what he's worth. I'd offer randle and a future draft pick for okafor, not this year's pick if we get it but 2018 unprotected for him. Plus possibly Nance or brown

    I was one of the biggest advocates of Okafor in the country before the draft, but there's not a chance I make this move. Not even a little chance.

    I sure as hell wouldn't. I would just offer them our pick from this year for Okafor straight up. Nothing more than that.

    Okafor
    Randle
    Somebody
    Clarkson
    Russell

    I'd trade Bender or Jaylen Brown or Kris Dunn for him.
