I don't think there's any rush in deciding on Franc's fate.
And if you move Franc, you're pretty much committing to keeping Mud.
Seems to make sense to wait and see how this year plays out:
See if Vonleh is a potential starter or, more likely, a bench F.
See if Mario is Super or Subpar.
See how Mud does the next 60 games.
See how far along Knox is/isn't by year's end.
See a full year of Trier and Datsun.
See who we draft and what position he plays.
And of course, see how's Franc's 20 year old 2nd season plays out.
And maybe the granddaddy of them all, see how all of these cats look next to NYK cornerstone KZ later in the year.
All of that info, plus the draft and FA, can tell us what to do with Franc.
He'll likely have the same value next year. I don't think anyone is looking to add Franc to bolster a playoff run this year.
Except for Courtly, Lance & Baker, I don't think it's time to make a move. Okay, I'd trade Zonja too. But it's Sell Low on the lot of them.
So even a deal for any of them might need to wait for a month or two, when they are playing again, by which time Baker is most likely toast.
Don't forget that Lance and Court are bench vets who can help a playoff hopeful.
