I think everybody on this board would rather keep the pick

I'd rather trade it if we can get someone in return that would help us win next season, or if it would help us move some of the dead weight off this roster (Asik and Ajinca in particular, but also potentially Hill & Moore). The exception would be if the next coach somehow finds a way to use any combination of the above.

Between the four of them, how many million is that per season?

Hill and Moore are marginally better than 10-day contract guys and look what we're paying them...

With the remaining games I'd like to see:

1. Gentry's audition for making AD + Boogie work. Right now he's doing a miserable job and any respectably run organization would show him the door at seasons end if he can't figure it out.

2. See what you can get out of Hill. Increase his usage and get him involved because you're stuck with that shitty contract and he's Asik'd his way into your future whether you like it or not. He's already an above average defender; give him more more offensive opportunities and hope he can get more comfortable.

3. Give the younger guys the minutes. Our best way to build a bench is to find these cheap young players that stick with the rotation. Guys like Diallo and Selden and whoever else they throw a 10 day to. Give them some run and hope something sticks.

Unfortunately all of these things are unlikely to happen because they'd more likely lead to losses. But personally being stuck between not making the playoffs and not being top 3 this is what I'd like to see.
