Mozgov.

Jose only has a year left in his contract and is old. In addition, the timespace that we can trade Calderon is very limited, so most likely his contract will just run out this season.

Mozgov is a center that still has plenty of value in this league. Therefore, his demand is a lot higher and we have him on a decent length contract.

However, this is probably the most difficult question sofar....

If Young could be traded he would have already... It's rare to see vets that signed in the offseason, traded in the same season, and I don't see Deng/Calderon/Mozgov getting traded... Don't think their contracts are that appealing unless they're filler with one of the young guys...

My bet is on Yi... His contract is just too appealing. But likely as filler too.

So not sure how bad I want any of them traded, because it likely means we're moving one of our young guns.

Lou. A playoff team needing a scoring boost off the bench would probably find him appealing.

Yeah went with Lou here, he's the most expendable player on the most affordable deal. A team hurting for a PG could also make an offer for Calderon.

Lou Will to the Heat for McRoberts and Weber.

I hope Lou but I think Deng to a contender around the deadline if Ingram and Randall are both performing

I'm going to go against you al on this one and say No-one will be traded, I just don't see it happening now and feel they'll give all these guys a chance. But if I had to say I'd say Mozgov < but again don't see any of them being traded.
