Portis and Randle should also be relocated just because they hold value that can't be leveraged here. Playoff teams need these guys.
I hope somebody thinks so. But Portis is very inconsistent; Randle mistake prone. Both iffy defenders. Any playoff trams really need 2-point scoring and have solid D?
Morris is the obvious giy a lot of playoff teams could use.
And kidd has a point. Trade Randle now and resigning Morris becomes a Big Priority, which likely means 4 years. Maybe a descending contract that starts at $19M and drops $1M per year. 4/$70M.
Just don't expect this level every year.
Basically, see what Morris can fetch. Should be many suitors. Put feelers out on Randle, which fewer teams would bite on. Weigh the options.
Agreed. But... establish priorities.
If you have a suitor for Randle, work a deal.
That doesn't mean you don't stop shopping Morris. It just means that you sequentially reevaluate where you are after each top priority item is executed.
If a Randle deal somehow provides team equilibrium then you can recalibrate the need, desire, or expected return on a Morris deal.
I think a high priority item is just curating the roster so that Miller can have dependable rotation players. The roster is too crowded with look-alikes and underachieving disappointments all wanting and needing playing time. Thin that herd out.
