Besides the "mutual want to separate", why should we trade TJ? He's a great back up. Unless we think we can get something for him, just leave him here and add through free agents.

TJs minutes are going to go down. He could become the 3rd PF/C and play opposite of AD and DC when they are not on the floor together.

We're also not planning to resign him, so get what value out of him while you can. The main thing he brought, post scoring, is not needed now that Cousins is here. Even if you're looking at as what's best for the rest of the season, Jones is a scorer, DMo is a facilitator, if you were having one of AD or Cousins on the floor at all times, who's the better fit? I think DMo is.

Because he did us a solid by coming here and playing on the minimum and his minutes are about to be cut. Because we want to have a good reputation with players who come to play for the minimum to pump up their value here.

Most importantly because he is repped by Dan Fegan who wants him to go somewhere he can more fully showcase for his next contract. Fegan also represents Cousins who we really, really want to re-sign here, so staying on his good side is important.

If we aren't bringing him back next year, he may be someone we can get something for. Once they max Holiday they will be limited in adding new pieces. So taking advantage of trading a cheap try out for a team may be beneficial to us.
