Prince didn't play at all today, and frankly, it seemed like they could have used his versatility and composure. It was mentioned a couple times that it could be because he is going to be traded. Have you guys heard anything?

I would think a buyout is more likely, but I obviously hope we can get something for him instead.

According to some sites I think the initial plan to trade him or buy him out is still in effect.  I think Danny will be looking for a pick for him.  Would not count on him being here after this season for sure.

the question is if hes not close to being traded then why didn't he play.

If it's a buyout, why wouldn't we have done it already?  Also, would we hold him out of a game now in order to complete a buyout.  I'm not sure of that.

Feels like he's going to be dealt.  With that 7M cap figure, most contending teams will have to send back salary, so the only incentive for Danny would be a pick... probably a 2nd rounder. 

Portland
... who else could use him?  Drawing a blank.

Stevens just said Prince was hurt and couldn't go. That Stevens didn't elaborate more than simply saying he was "hurt" leaves me skeptical.

"Steve.....uhhh.......Cauldron."

Bulls - Mirotic has tailed off and Dunleavy has had health problems.
CHA for Lance - if Danny thinks he can parlay Lance later and CHA is done with him
Pelicans - for 1 playoff run. Do they even have a SF on their roster?

pretty light market for him, I'd say

He still is a pretty darn good player on both ends, from his play here the last couple of weeks. Would think several contending teams would gladly take him on for a first round pick.  Maybe we could package with one of Philly's second rounders and grab a late first rounder for him instead?  Don't ask, don't get, right??

Probably he is just injured
