Colangelo is doing a good job channeling Hinkie. He got a top 20 protected 1st to acquire Ersan and now, a half season later, has gotten a 2nd rounder and 2nd round swap to get rid of him. No reason to keep him since they weren't going to resign him. Splitter is out injured so he won't be playing and his salary is apparently covered by insurance. The freed up playing time will go to Simmons and their other young bigs.
