that seems like a lot to give up for joe smith... I hope we trade Luke Walton instead of Sasha... Sigh, I don't know what Phi sees in Luke, we play 4 vs. 5 when Luke is on the court. At least sasha provides spacing with his shooting.

A lot? Giving him up for nothing is a blessing in itself. We can get a backup big for 8-10 mins? Absolutely perfect. Walton still sucks but he was our 2nd worst player. His contract is too horrid for him to get traded though.

Just half that. Okay half it again, and again, and again. There, he'll probably give you that many mpg.
