And we'd be the ones giving up a first, even if it's protected.
We get smaller, despite rebounding being one of our only consistent issues, and we lose both defense and shooting somehow.
Also, Okongwu's due for his extension off the rookie deal, so you're going to have to pay him soon. Yes, we have to pay Trey too, but who would I rather pay? Trey seems the obvious answer to me.
