There's nothing out there that's better than JV with his contract and production.

If you want to trade for a big, they should be looking at the value bin using Hayes contract.

This is the correct answer. Do you guys not remember the Asik contract? If we traded a 1st for Turner or Poetl they'd probably get overpaid by a decent amount if we kept them.

Generally speaking when you trade a pick for an expiring player you're giving that player lots of leverage. Griff actually has a good track record with this getting decent deals for JV/CJ/Nance, but I think all 3 liked their fit and are at a stage in their career where that was more important than maximizing money.
