![]() There is a lot we (regular fans) don't know about the situation, the most significant unknown being Jose's health - which I assume BC & Co. have a better understanding of. To me, that's the key for him going into the future. His skill set will not be affected by age as much as it would have been had Jose been a more explosive player, so the key to his success over the next 5/6 years is his health. It's a tough choice, but I think it does make more sense to trade him now, if the right deal comes along. The thought of Bayless starting/playing more than 15 minutes per game makes me want to vomit, so in any deal, we want to be sure we are getting a quality PG back, or have scouted the PGs in the draft well enough to be confident in their abilities.

![]() the logic of the last sentences escape me
while it's fairly obvious that the lakers and the magic are the primary targets, and that they have no assets we are really interested in, how exactly are they supposed to get those assets in a three team trade? Both teams are in an identical situation, a few players they wouldn't trade for jose, and a whole bunch of players nobody would want. Sure, the Lakers could trade Gasol for young assets to flip them to us for Jose, but that's an unrealistic scenario. |

![]() We could go after Dwight as an expiring and try to get a pick in there as well. Other players would have to be involved of course, and who knows if they want Jose if Dwight is leaving? Or we could be part of something where Dwight goes somewhere else.

![]() If we do get dwight, and only as an expiring, i'd bench him. But you know that's not possible so it's not a good move on our part, we'd lose out on our relatively good pick this year, all for a rental and getting rid of jose's contract. pass

Let's face it, if we trade Jose, we'll have to settle for a late pick, although the way the lakers are playing, it may end up as a lottery pick eventually ![]() |

Hollinger is full of shit here imo. He's saying there's not market for them and we aren't being offered anything and we don't want to just dump him for nothing. When we've heard nothing but the opposite and that the Raps don't want to take back salary in any deal involving either player. |

![]() It's all about return. If they can somehow flip Calderon for a fairly decent first round draft pick and hopefully a serviceable upgrade on the roster then you can make that deal. I just worry that what you end up with at the PG position will be one of these newer, young, and monumentally stupid PG's that simply cannot lead a team. A lot of um can score, some can dunk, some make really fancy passes.... but really, unless you are absolutely loaded with MVP/ Allstar talent in other positions, you need a guy that plays the old school way. It will be a tough one to suck up, but what can ya do.
