Well, I agree it is nice to have assets in case an Ayton scenario occurs again. But you have to admit the odds are not great.
What were the offers for Ant last June? Nothing that we wanted if I recall correctly. Good young 2-way forwards are tough to come by.
How about Grant? Is a team willing to send a good young forward to us so they can pay Grant 30 million in the next few years? It's possible but highly unlikely. We can move him but I doubt the return will be beneficial this year or next. Probably a salary dump with a pick. (Which I know some of you are good with but I would want more)
Malcolm is the exception. Teams hoping to be contenders should want him. Contending teams who lose their PG to an injury should want him. Toronto, Miami, and even the Lakers IMO all need him. But to think we can find teams for all 3 players and get equal value seems unrealistic. And again I think some on this board don't care, they just want them gone to free up minutes....... which is stupid.
