Has there been a player on the D that has made more plays than Leonard? Trading him doesnt make the team better. And both of them coming off injuries wont get squat.

It's a better option than giving up the massive amounts of draft capital I'm seeing as potential trades online. I'd rather give up those two players, good as they are, than give up this year's entire Day 1 and Day 2 and draft picks (plural) next year including next year's 1 and in some cases an additional Day 2 pick. Now, if the trade is something somewhat reasonable like what Matt Miller proposed (4, 35, this year's 4, next year's 3), give up the draft capital instead, but there comes a point where the players are cheaper than the draft capital, especially when you consider the baggage they come with.
