I like Gomes a lot, but the idea to trade him does make sense. Freeing up a little extra cap room heading into the offseason makes sense. Also we're going to be targeting wings and in my mind Gomes is a SF so he's going to get squeezed with minutes for Brewer, Ellington and draft/FA. I don't really place a lot of value in Walker and CDR and no value in Scalabrine.
That said I think a late round pick could have some value in helping us move up. Let's say a team is up against the cap and has the pick we want. Trading the higher pick and a contract to us for multiple picks later in the round helps both teams out. I can throw specific scenarios out later if I have more time.
