everyone wants Sweets to sucseed.......but with the 6 power fwds we currently have he is one of the easiest to let go.
no, he should be HARDEST to let go. everybody knows that mo, jyd, malik, and kurt are. there's no "potential" there. they are what they are. so if they play 35 mins or if they play 15 mins, their trade value stays relatively the same. they're overpaid retreads that EVERYBODY in the league knows about. there is ZERO excuse to not start and play sweets 35 mins a night and let those guys fight for the remaining 15.
Everyone know about them because they have played significant minutes. Sweets is a developing player who may or may not ever learn to deal with his weight issues or turn into a good player. When you talk about trading a player, it always matters who you are talking about trading them for.
Also with 4 pfs on our team, you have to make some trades and since he is the one thats probably easiest to trade, it makes sense to move him. we have to turn some PF's into 3's,2's, 1's or 5's. It is essential to balance our team.
PLus with his low salary, we'll probably be trading him for another young player at a different position. that player will also have potential.
