The Rod Gardner plan is so very clear to me....
1) If we trade him, it will only get us a 4th rounder at best - that stinks and is not worth it. We can all agree on that...
2) If we keep him, we give Taylor & McCants another year to mature & develop.
3) As noted in the previous post, Gardner will play his ass off - so we can enjoy him having a "career year" - whatever that is for him.
4) If he's such hot shit this year - then we let some other team pick him up and pay the big bucks or we can resign him and suck it up (not likely). If he leaves, we'll have a ready Taylor & McCants in the wings to pick up the slack!
Let's hold onto Rod!!
