See, I think this is a very, very broad generalization. Once again we're looking at some of the misplays that G had in this series (and yes, even I'll admit he had them) and using those to define his entire run over seven games, it's Vegas all over again. In terms of metrics and production he was pretty much Colorado's best defender. I know some of you will automatically say "well that's why they lost" and I'd agree with you, he should not be the team's best defender, but that doesn't minimize his importance.
I really don't think y'all are prepared for what might happen if they take G out of this lineup and what the long-term consequences are. He does SO much to make the rest of this defensive lineup work.
I am not fully on board the TRADE MANSON wagon, but I think he is indeed the more expendable guy. It's not even him, the player. I like him as a player and as a person, I just can't justify that contract when he gets hurt way too often and way too easily, and when he plays hurt he's simply not effective at all. In fact he's a gigantic liability when not fully healthy, which he rarely is. He's also the guy who would snag more in return for a trade.
