EDIT: isn't OKC the same team that's stashing their 2nd round draft pick in Tulsa because they don't want to give him a rookie contract?Last edited by godkingleonidas; Fri Sep 12, 2014, 07:12 AM.

Ujiri did this in Denver by signing Nene and then flipping him almost as quickly as he could.

Nene was seen as Denver's future center but it didn't seem so good after they signed him to the multi year extension. Just speculating but I think things worked out perfectly when Washington came up with an offer.Attitude Is A Choice.

Hansborough is a 2nd back up PF after Patrick P and when you look at free agent 2nd back up PF's that were available, it made sense to keep TH. Besides, why would a team pick up an option worth 2 mil. for "trade asset' purposes only when the asset would at best fetch you a 2nd rounder in return?

If Ujiri trades Hansbrough for a second round pick before the season begins, he will have effectively gained a second round pick for free (since salary won't have been paid out yet).
Also, Hansbrough isn't the only option for a third string power forward currently on the roster. James Johnson is a great fit for small ball minutes.

If a team contacted the Raps. and offered a 2nd rounder for TH, I have no doubt in my mind that Ujiri would simply refuse. The only way he could get traded is if he`s included as part of a package. TH was brought back for one purpose and one purpose only. To be part of the team and not because it may result in a free 2nd rounder. No GM would risk that.Attitude Is A Choice.

Also, Ujiri is on record as "not wanting to lose an asset for nothing" and has the track record where he signed a player and then traded him as soon as he could. I don't know what Ujiri's intent was when he signed Hansbrough, but it he definitely could have picked up his option with the intent of trading him this season for other assets."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

In what context did Ujiri say "not want to lose an asset for nothing"?
I disagree that Ujiri has a track record of picking up options and trading away the player.Attitude Is A Choice.
