I'd like the pick and all, but honestly, I'm to the point of just releasing him and clearing the air of the drama.
The longer this drags on, the more likely it is that Dallas gets absolutely nothing for him, not more.
That is why all along I doubted the notion that we get anything for him. The contract is what it is, cannot be traded and eventually there becomes the fiscal guarantees coming into play as soon as facility workouts begin.
Denver and Houston know who they are dealing with and all they have had to do all along is sit back and wait.
That is what happens when you give a player a mortgaged contract and then vow publicly to "do right" by the player. It dissolves any and all leverage for the team.
