Thanks.

“I think we try to trade both of them by the deadline and take back a very good big man.”

Here’s the problem though … who? I mean, the only names being floated are people like Randolph (not sure if two expiring deals are near enough to get him), Brand (way overpaid and old), Biedrins (shocking drops in production over the last two years) and Kaman (huge injury risk). I’d rather let them expire and pursue someone like Deandre Jordan next offseason.
