Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but is the consensus that nobody available via trade is anybody who'd move the needle for this team?
Assuming this is, in fact, the case, we should probably refrain from moving out any significant futures.
Gerard Gallant doesn't cost futures, does he? Vegas fired him, do we have to get permission to speak with him, or toss them a pick?
Hiring Gallant is going to have a far greater impact on this team than any one acquisition they can make between now and the deadline. I can understand the team wanting to finish the season with Ward, but they couldn't have imagined a coach of this calibre would be available in January.
Tre's got a lot of thinking to do over the next 10 days.
