Surprised nobody said Reddick. He'd be a valuable piece for a contending team we could get something good for him.

Shamit mentioned this on the last In the N.O. pod, but when you talk about trading guys like Favors and Redick, you have to understand that they were both essentially free agent acquisitions (Favors had a huge amount of control over where he went, according to Utah they were ready to send him wherever he wanted) and signing a veteran in the off-season only to trade them at first opportunity is really bad for a team's reputation.
We're trying to rebuild the franchise into a respectable one, and immediately signing vets and uprooted their families before flipping them within 6 months is a pretty negative sign to send.
Basketball.
One guy I wished we signed was Jeremy Lin. He’s so perfect for what we need. It’s crazy how no team in the league wanted him.
Agreed, I wouldn’t move JJ or Favors unless they ask. If they did ask we should get at least a first or a good young player or maybe both.
I dont wanna move good players.
I agree. The best way to keep respect within the league is to do right by those veteran players. If they want to be here, even if it looks like a slower build, great! There's no way you trade them. If they want off a sinking ship, you've got to move them. It's really all about how they feel about the situation.
