I like Rice as a good...well, streaky 3 point shooter and a great locker room guy. Problem is as long as he's here, we don't get to see Boki or TMo, 2 players I'd really like to see more of...especially TMo and his sweet mid-range jumper.
Rice is definitely getting traded this year. Look for Jerry West to clear out space to make way for Kobe or KG. If we can package Rice and M.Norris somehow, it'll work for some team that has deep enough pockets.
I totally agree, but doesn't both make over 15 million the last year of their contracts. Its easier to talk about trades if you do not let facts and salaries get in the way of want-a-be trades and rumors.
