Getting Traded
Banned
Yes, I hope Ricky will be unmovable from the bench. He needs to go back to Europe to finish his career.
I can see playoff teams inquiring about Johnson, Hood and Favors especially. I think Favors is definitely gone. Burks is a maybe - depending on what DL is offered. Hood's only traded if DL is offered a 1st or a solid rotation player. Johnson would definitely help a playoff team - since he's a rental a trade to a contender would be a goodwill gesture - traded alone I'm assuming he'd net a 2nd round pick and nothing more.
I hope DL goes all in and we see Favors, Hood, Burks, Johnson and Rubio all moved. Bring back picks and young players that compliment Gobert, Mitchell and Exum. It appears the FO is wanting to build around those 3. Cool, ok. Then let's do it, all in.
Sounds great if only it was that easy.

Rubio to Phoenix for Monroe
Favors, Burks and a 2nd (maybe add future 2nds) to Atlanta for expirings
JoeJ and Hood to Cavs for Osman, expirings and the Cleveland 2018 1st
Highly, highly unlikely, but clearing all that off is a clean slate.

It is what DL is paid to do. Also from rumors, the best info we have at our disposal, is that several of these players have significant interest. If you know you are going to let them walk at the end of the season you take the best deal offered. And it seems, again rumors, that discussions are happening at the least.
No, I don't think all of them are traded but I bet a couple of them are.
I've been trying to say that deals are probably less likely to happen than they appear (at least the plethora of them). People diving in head first because Tony Jones or someone else says something and everyone thinks it's obvious we're making a move with our guys. I think we'll be singing a different tune after the deadline, rationalizing and saying things like "it's just so hard to move guys during the season in today's NBA" and other feel-good statements.
We may have one move, and I'm hoping like hell it's Mirotic, but I again wouldn't be surprised by a move out of left field of Jerebko for a second round pick.
