fans and sports writers do this all the time, trade a guy while he still has value, trade a guy he's just not as good anymore, he can't handle it, he's starting to slow down.

This guy is the nuts and bolts to that back end, his emotion and hard work are alone worth keeping, then add in his knowledge, his athletic abilities still show up. Think if you had 4 of him in that backfield vs. 4 of anyone else we have.......no comparison....get him a couple more guys along with Durant, and a healthy Fuller, add in a Lake and Yeast with some field time......

Trade him and you've just made a hole that will need 2 guys to fill.....They can get an edge guy without throwing out your backside key......Trade him is IMO not even on the table.....makes for good discussion on boards and in blogs, I would like to keep it right there and not come to reality......
