i think it'd be better PR for the team to just let Steve leave. WHY would they trade him for Fields and Toney? WHAT POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE DOES THAT GIVE THEM? Fields and Toney are useless cap killers.

If he walks they get nothing..

but... isn't it better PR to say Nash left us? or are they able to spin it as, "hey we got a few prospects"

My opinion, no. Most fans understand what happened to Cleveland after LeBron. "Sign and trade" has been a popular phrase after that situation. I think fans will understand that they had to get something in return.

You realize Lebron was part of a sign and trade, right?

Yes, my point is it is not a better PR move to just let him walk.

It's gonna have to include Fields and Shumpert at a minimum, which is fine.

This statement shows how your robotic following of David Berri's numbers blinds you to parts of the game that is badly (mis)judged by his dumb system and books.
