At some point, we have to realize who we are. Through a lack of talent, we have persevered due to the chemistry and heart of the team. Throwing away guys like Thabo and Udoh are understandable. They are overpaid and past it. Rubio is tough because we love him for being such a great guy and teammate. Much can be said for Favors.
We talk casually about just making/letting those guys walk. Two starters and two other key components to the lockerroom. Now, there is talk of just dumping a 5th guy in Crowder who fits the same mold as the other 4. If it's not worth it, then we shouldn't do it. Dumping Crowder to Memphis so we can add Jamychal Green? We are risking more than we should.
We can get Conley without having to dump Favors, Rubio, Thabo, Udoh AND Crowder. At some point, we have to show respect to some guys who love wearing our jersey.
