Fair question.
Although, it's kinda the same question as we've been wondering already, isn't it. Who is it if we don't do something???
My thinking on the UT guys keeps coming back to the same general place as DS mentioned above -- I'm trying to figure what can be done without a pick, I'm thinking THJ has to be part of the outgoing (in order to open up minutes), and I'm left wondering is there something more workable if it's a bigger package.
But I'm not sure there's enough of an upgrade in any of what I can see to pursue --
a) Conley? He seems like he could be the answer as to skills/position if it all broke right, and the cost would be friendly, but I think risk-reward is way negative in light of the huge contract (I find it hard to trust he won't be a 2-year albatross),
b) Bogey or Clarkson? I don't think simply swapping out THJ for one of them will add enough upside to be worth what such a swap is likely to cost in side assets, and both are potential rentals rather than additions to an ongoing core, and
c) I don't see a minutes fit for having THJ still here, while doing a deal that adds Carkson (via Powell+), and it will be that much harder to offload THJ is you put him in mothballs.
