Just say "NO" to trading future first rounders. We have done that for ages and it doesn't work out. Let's go a more Spurs-like route. I'm sick of trying to maximize our aging stars windows. We should focus on team development and tough play. Winning in the Playoffs will be challenging no matter what we add. Trading our future for a chance to get our asses kicked by GSW or Cavs is not a smart move. And it compromises our chance to take over from those teams once they settle down.

I think Lee is a very valuable glue guy. If you look at Charlotte, they went 20-8 last year after they traded for Lee at the deadline and put him in the starting lineup.

We'll be able to trade him at any time over the course of his contract - he came at a discount and is a great bargain. He's a starting caliber 2, who even though he's not shooting great is hitting 38% of his threes right now.

He's a great glue guy at SG. Trading him would be ridiculously early.

This team seemed to figure something out about the way it should play during their meeting. The way they played against Atlanta and Portland was great - those were both second round playoffs teams last year - let's see where this goes for a few months.
