And your point being? Late picks are hit or miss, Butler dropped due to potential health issues, which seems to be managed.
Maybe they can't get a lot for him, but it is still bad business to sell low.
I'd be furious if they just released him or traded him for a second. They stuck with Miye, Brantley, and Ellijah for 2-4 years but JB only gets 1.
Just because a player doesn't project to get playing time doesn't mean we need to get rid of him in some form or fashion. (not yelling at you... more the Jones idea of he won't play here) You keep the player because injuries happen. If he is buried on the bench and pissed about it so what. We have released players that fell out of the rotation and then later had injuries that they could help with.
I just think they managed JB poorly. Once he adjusts to the three point line he's going to be really valuable. The defense wasn't awful it was just a lot of rookie mistakes... fouling and being out of place at times... he gets a lot of steals as well as blocks and rebounds for a guard. The rookie mistakes get ironed out with experience... just wild Quin couldn't "downgrade" from Forrest to JB for a few minutes a night to invest in that player when GS, Memphis, Denver, etc. all seem to find time for those guys.
