I also loved all that upside of bargnani and jabari parker and olawakandi and eddie curry and michael bennet. Upside wins you so many games!

Don't forget the ultimate upside of DedEx. He won us SO many hypothetical games. So many, in fact, that he earned a REAL pay increase for his stellar hypothetical play. Amazing!

No such thing as "showcasing". All NBA players have been under a microscope since they were 14 years old (or earlier). Everyone is a known quantity.

If anything, it's a risk to give extended minutes to vets you're going to trade. They might get hurt. Case in point - Kelly Olynyk.

It’s more about showcasing that they have value to their current team. If someone isn’t getting off the bench on your team it puts you in a difficult position to negotiate from a position of strength.
 
The problem with "showcasing" is that once they play well enough it actually changes their trade value... you won't want to trade them. @infection back me up here.

They have to play really well to actually change their trade value... and once they do that... you now value them more and want to retain them.

All that hypothetical potential netted us Clarkson in the end. I had so much stock on Exum Island rip

It’s very much like a stock… it jumps like 10% in a day and you think - “I could sell… but what if I let it ride… what if it jumps again?” Then it dips and you feel like a dummy.
 
The Lowe Post from Friday had Memphis and New Orleans as trade destinations for Beasley. Not rumors, just what they think makes sense.
