    There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting 50 or even 25 cents on the dollar in trading Dwight. Anything's better than 1) having to continue to watch Dwight ruin our offense and 2) getting zero value in return if he opts out

    Sure there is.

    If you have to do a 4 for 1 type deal for salary reasons that means you are cutting, trading other players to make the roster numbers work. If even one of those guys has a salary beyond this year then you have reduced your available cap room.

    This team isn't going anywhere this year so there is no reason to make a move just to make a move. You have to get at least one piece that you like for next year, developmental reasons, trade asset or draft pick. Otherwise it's just a waste and it hurts the perception of your franchise for no reason.

    Cleveland? Haha. MCW is a weird fit on a team that needs shooters. In fact, none of those guys they are getting can shoot.

    I'm not ragging on you because I can't come up with a better trade haha. I'm just pointing out why it may not work.

    The projected wins thing is weird. I think it's PER-based. Doesn't really translate well to reality.

    That makes more sense for Cleveland I think, and Houston still comes out strong.

    problem is Cleveland has stated repeated they aren't moving Klove. They want Ariza from us though.

    I don't get their desire for Ariza, they want him to play the 2?

    Yeah, and our problem is that they have only garbage to trade us, so let them stay like they are now and get booped by the Warriors again.

    And the 3 in a small lineup.

    Ariza is better then all their 2/3s so that makes sense.
