You need people who can come off the bench and score. MoT does that and seems happy doing it. Etan can not come in the game and pick up the scoring slack when Yao Ming is out like MoT can. MoT was one of the best 6th men in the league. If you want to bring Etan in to start that is one thing but I still don't think he is as valuable as MoT coming off of the bench.
I agree...where are the points coming from off of the bench if we trade MoTay? I would only agree with trading him if we get a player who is equally dangerous, in term of scoring, to come off of the bench.
Add to that list Florant Pietrus, brother of the Warrior's SG. He's a high energy PF, who could earn a spot on a NBA roster somewhere... ALA
