The NBA is about improving the pool of assets you have to compete. That is a combination of players, cap space/flexibility and coaching. Coaching is the easiest to adjust (if you are willing to buy-out your existing coach..MJ was). GW's trade shows that no matter what your intangible value to the organization is, you could be traded if you were offered enough in return. I hope Hendo isn't trade, one of the things that really makes him value to the organization is his rookie contract.

GW became expendable because he was due $22M over the next two seasons, for $9.6M we could lock Hendo up for the next three years. This is why I think it's very unlikely that Hendo would be moved, but..it's a business, if the right deal comes along that (in your mind) improves our chances to compete on the floor while keeping our assets neutral, or positive, you make a change/trade.
