I know that asset management makes it seem like trading an expiring contract at the deadline is the way to go, but I am a firm believer that this is a win now team, and I would be happiest if they went into the playoffs full strength. The cap savings ( and hopefully playoff success) will have to be enough of a reward.

My thoughts exactly...train wreck or not, he still battles every night and in the playoffs especially we'll need every ounce of battle we can get out of these guys. I don't see Tre trading him unless we're getting a proven replacement for the playoffs.
