That's not true. It can most definitely go lower than that. For example, the pick that you get back can be lower than 16 or it could be off the table completely. Also the player you get back can be less of an asset than Reggie Evans. Or maybe you have to give up another young player to get it done.
My point is I am already not willing to give up the #6 in order to trade Randolph and move down 16 spots. Which means if that was the best deal I could get for Randolph, then his value is already below what I am willing to trade. If his value gets lower it doesn't matter because it is already to low for me to want to make the trade.
I am sure you have a limit as to what you would give up to trade Randolph. Yours might be #6, Lee, Chandler, Nate #2 future draft picks but you do have a limit.
How much value does Randolph have with next yrs draft pick and 2 yrs left on his contract that a team could just buy out for an expiring contract? Or depending on if we have a top 6 lottery pick again. How much would the value of Randolph at 2yrs which a team could just buy out and a lottery pick be?
As for waiting until 2011 instead of 2010, take that up with Donnie Walsh who has made it a point on numerous occasions, including his introductory press conference, that he wants to get under the cap by the summer of 2010 so he can be a major player in free agency.
I want that to, but im sure both Walsh just like me doesn't want to overpay in order to get that cap space a yr earlier. Reguardless of what happends with Randolph, 3 yrs from now he will not be on the team. But that #6 pick could be a core player for 10yrs and cap space if it is the goal would be inevitable.
According to you Isiah Thomas is pulling the strings anyway and Walsh is just a puppet. So im suprised your supporting it.
