Rodney has been a tease in the past.  He'd always give glimpses of turning the corner.  This year is different because he has been garbage.  After a summer where he put in the MOST work on his game and his body, he comes back with garbage.  Package him. Charlie has been up and down.  Still he's been more up and the other two guys.  The book has clearly been written on him.  Package him. Will Bynum has been the best of the guards.  He's a spark plug with great chemistry with Dre.  He has scored and assisted and essentially led the second unit with excellence.  He is probably the only guy with value among the above listed guys.  He would have to be the main cog in a trade to rid us of the other players.
