Jettison this idea of the vets being a bridge. Its a bridge to nowhere. Sell them off ASAP - this team is much more watchable when the kids are out there hustling. We will stink either way.
I think thybulle could be useful at the 2 moving forward depending on what other moves are made
I think Matisse is terribly undervalued to most Blazer fans. In a time when it seems people just casually say to ship out anyone over 25 years old, the truth is that only one or two of them will realistically be moved. Of the Brogdon, Grant, Ayton, Simons and Matisse group and who should get traded, I think Simons and Matisse are 1a and 1b as far as keeping around. When you look at contracts, defensive versatility, lockerroom presence and fit moving forward, Matisse is a guy I wouldn't try too hard to move. And honestly, he probably doesn't have a lot of return value in a trade. Ayton first, Grant second (because of return value), Brogdon third, then Ant and Matisse last.
