Nothing, but this roster needs to improve.
That doesn't equal making the team better by trading him.
Why would we trade a guy averaging 16/7/7?
We need to improve the bench but trading tyreke isn't the answer.

Physical in what way? Sure, he picks up fouls like Heady picks up STD's but he routinely gets pushed around for rebounding position.

Anyone know if we offer Ryno more than other teams?
Idk.. Hopefully these guys get some chemistry and the core guys don't chase money into a shite team.. That said we have AD for another 5+ guaranteed years so I'm happy

So how do you improve the team then if you have no draft picks and refuse to part with your 5 best players?

You deal with having a shitty bench this season
And you pray to jesus Gordon doesn't take his extension next year
Then sign free agents

Literally a better chance that you and I try out for the Austin Toros and get called up by the Pelicans than Gordon turning down $14M.

You don't need a big move to improve the bench. Something like the Rivers+Withey(or ajinca)+Cash for Middleton/Dudley is the way to go.

What our best bet is, Eric continues to improve and plays a consistent 3rd/4th fiddle and puts up something like 12/3/3 on 45/35/80 shooting.
Someone might bite thinking he can be their 2nd option.

This. It's been obvious since we failed to make a trade on draft night that we weren't likely going to get a legit SF this season. People complained long and hard about trading Lopez despite getting a more talented player for him. The available SFs are not going to be better than Tyreke or Ryno, so it'd be a trade down.

EG is an expiring next year too

We could have Jeremy Lamb coming off the bench right now...
he's not starter material, but the guy is a nice spark plug off the bench.

Tough to do this season.
For next season, assuming EG is still here and we re-sign Asik and Rivers, we would have the MLE to add a fairly capable D+3 SF. Pretty sure we would have the bi-annual exception as well. Simply adding that legit SF gives us a solid bench:
Rivers
Reke
BAE player
Ryno
Ajinca
with Reke and Ryno possibly finishing.

I don't think that's enough to get him gone by the deadline, but if he shakes off the shooting woes and has a few big games to help us make the 2nd round of the playoffs, that would probably be enough to get him to opt out, playoff performers often get overrated and overpaid.

Khris Middleton put up 12/4/2 and shot 44/41/86 last year in 30 minutes of action.
With parker the new franchise SF, he's expendable. Time for dealin' demps to do some magic.
On another note, have you guys seen Jeff Green this year?
20/5/2 shooting 45/38/83

If we do well enough and keep our pick even better.

I think if he can turn it up a notch to his normal shooting %s, I think keeping him for this year is fine. Say we are a 48 win team and sneak in as a 7/8th seed. If we make noise, like you said, he can get moved.
