I was saying a couple of weeks back that Turk should be shopped since his value is so high. But im now realizing that he does so much more for this team. He's our best inbound passer, our best post feeder, our clutch 4th quarter scrorer, among other things. Losing him would hurt this team, regardless of who we got back (unless of course its a superstar but thats doubtful). So as of now I would say no to any trade involving Turk.

And he is on our best contract. The only way i trade him is a slam dunk.

I certainly hope that Otis reconsiders, unless it was a bluff from the start, his position on JJ.

Seems like team looking to move good players want either comparable talent in return or cap-space and young talent.

We're apparantly willing to trade out expirings. But if we're not going to use JJ, what's the sense on holding on to him? I don't care if he does well elsewhere, he's not done anything here yet.
