On draft night or this summer, do you guys think it would be possible to get a 2nd round pick out of any of those 3? If so, I think we would have to pull the thrigger.

Landry isn't going to be traded until he's an expiring
I like Chuck but i can't see someone trading FOR him unless he's in a deal to make salaries work or something
Novak... kind of. Problem is he's been so meh this year. He's really only good at one thing and hasn't even been very good. Part of it is how he's being used. A lot of it falls on him though. I kind of thought he'd be moved at the deadline but when i think about it now i can see why no one would've called about him.@sweatpantsjer

They are all tradeable in the offseason or during the next season. Expirings can always be moved. Novak would work well in the right system. Our system isn't the right one for Novak. He should be in the West, spacing the floor in Houston, GSW, or LAC, where he will get open shots and his poor defence won't be such an issue.
I don't expect Landry or Hayes to get traded necessarily, unless it's paired with one of our more valuable assets as filler. But as expirings, they can be moved next season, but I wouldn't bank on it. The cap space in the 2015 offseason will be just as valuable as a 2nd round pick IMO, so I wouldn't stress about moving them.

The idea is only to get rid of them. I mean, I like those 3 players and they are part of the team and each of them can produce when given the opportunity and when they are not injured. But to get a real deep team, I think we simply need to go in another direction concerning those 3. We need better backups, simple as that.
Via this year's draft, let's say we get one player that can really be a part of the rotation right away. Look at the roster below. That's how I see it. The plan this summer should be bringing back all these guys and get rid of Hayes, Novak and Fields while improving our bench (via 1. draft, 2. free agency, 3. trades).
Valanciunas/C/C
Johnson/Patterson/Hansbrough
Ross/SF/SF
DeRozan/SG/De Colo
Lowry/Vasquez/PG
Like I said, I like Fields, Hayes and Novak. But not for a total of about 16M$. And I think we could get better players than them, probably for less money.

So... we're stuck with them. Noone would even take them on if we gave them away. Minimum we have to package 2nd round picks with em."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.

Is it possible that Landry returns to form before next season? I got this feeling he will bounce back and will be able to contribute next season as the 1st or 2nd wing off the bench. It's not like he is a bad player...he just can't shoot due to his injury. And although his contract is bad, if he can return with some semblance of shooting ability that would be one less roster spot to fill and money MU can put elsewhere, and hey, if it works out he could be a decent trade chip as an expiring. Fingers crossed...

Is waiving a realistic option also? Could we waive them and get one or two serviceable players on cheap, 1-year contracts?Last edited by charlesnba23; Wed Feb 26, 2014, 02:16 PM.
