If they traded Neal now, they would be selling low. It wouldn't make much sense.
Neal is better than his stats this year show.
Right now, he probably has more negative value than a 1st round pick has positive value.
I would not be willing to trade 1st+ just to sell low on Neal.
His shooting percentage is low, and it took a while to become comfortable with a new team.
He's not really that old, so I bet he's going to rebound a bit.
This year's free agency is relatively young and skilled. It would be nice to be able to make a big signing, but I don't think it's possible.
