What would you trade for Elias Petterson?

Unless we have players that are in almost identical situations.  See Dylan Cozens.  If he’s the centerpiece of the deal, make it happen.  He clearly is either in his own head and may never figure it out here or he got his brain so scrambled in that fight or is such a ***** that one fight has turned him into Derek Roy.  

It’s ***** bizarre that the leagues own network has analysts using internet rumors for content.  Like is that really all you have to talk about?  

I’m not so sure what’s so bizarre? All national sports networks regularly have insiders discussing trade scenarios.

I haven’t seen it but I’ll take your word

I would argue that keeping Cozens for another year and NOT shipping him out for something of value is also a huge risk that seems unlikely to work out.  If next year he continues his poor play, his value is going to drop like a rock with that contract.  Might as well take a shot with him while he still has value.  If he goes somewhere and returns to the player he was signed to be... I'm happy for him.  But it's getting more and more likely with every passing game that what you see is what you get.

I agree, and it's not even about shipping him out, it's if you can package him for someone like Elias.  I'd rather keep him and take the chance he'll be the player we saw projections of him being vs just another guy.  Elias, what...
