He seems to me to have the biggest positive disparity between actual production and potential trade value on the team; keep him and try to resign him unless someone blows you away with an offer.
On the opposite end is Kuzma who is being paid like a productive starter, given minutes like a productive starter, and inconsistently even plays like a productive starter. I think his contract is pretty much attuned to his value and I'd move him if I could generate a decent return. I'd rather give his minutes to Harrell (if Bryant can play next to him), rehabbing Hachimura and Bertans, and developing Avdija and Todd. I'd trade him regardless of what we do with Beal; most other decisions follow from the Beal decision. I feel similarly about KCP but don't think his value is as high and his skill set is less dupicative on this roster so not as eager to move him.
I absolutely want us to keep Trez and Gafford.
To me, given his defensive shortcomings and lack of a post game, Bryant is the odd man out.
You can either get a cheap third big of the stretch variety (think Muscala) or a cheap third big of the give fouls variety (think Len)... or draft a 2nd round project like Queta and hope you hit it large.
Nah, Bryant is the best C on the roster. I'm keeping him.
Best screener, best shooter, and plays with as much energy as Trez.
His value is seen in the last couple games. There's SO MUCH MORE SPACE for the guards. If we get into the postseason, that's going to show up big time. And Trez's value in the postseason is diminished.
Trez in my mind is the odd man out. Whether that's at the deadline or when he leaves in free agency.
