Hmm...on a 10 scale, with 10 meaning aboslutely untouchable, a 1 meaning must go, and a 5 meaning do not care/does not matter:
Bibby ( 9 ) -- probably the keeper/leader of whatever comes next. Some questions opened up with his play down the stretch after the trade and in the playoffs, but still I think the #1 keeper.
Miller ( 8 ) -- and an 8 because of our offense and because Bibby needs a big guy to be effective. If the offense changes or Bibby is moved, drops to a 7 because of limitations. Works well in our system, but has problematic deficiencies otherwise (defense).
Peja ( 6 ) -- in no case should be given away for a lesser player. But absolutely should be shopped to see who nibbles and what's available. Contract demands/desire to return could drop this all the way down to a 1 or 2 if it doesn't sound like we can meet his price next year. Might be the key piece in a megadeal package.
Skinner ( 6 ) -- I'd like to see him return, but as a PF not a twerpy center. Like his attitude, smart and mature player. But another large contract and potential trading pawn. Think he could be part of the solution, not the problem, but he isn't the solution himself, and if he's moved he's moved.
Evans ( 6 ) -- appreciate his maturity along with the athleticism. Like Skinner a nice mature attitude and approach. Not a great player, not one I want to depend on, but it would be nice to have him down there on the bench again. He's a FA and may get better offers, so out of our control.
Martin ( 6 ) -- young guy who showed flashes. Not sure whether he's ever going to more than good bencher, but still a cheap kid with potential, so I'd rather keep him than not. See no point in moving him unless its as a throw in in a bigger deal.
Bobby ( 6 ) -- absolutely love his attitude, and if he was young, healthy, and in the middle of his long cheap contract, this would be way up somewhere near a 9. But he's not. He's getting older, he's injury prone, and this is the last year of his deal. If he's still got serious trading value, then I think he could be one of those guys dangled to try to bring back a major player.
House ( 5 ) -- another FA obviously. Like the mature play he gave us late in the year, but not the sort of talent I am going to worry about either way.
Songaila ( 4 ) -- good guy, but so limited in ways that we can not afford (defense/rebounding). Maybe if we moved Brad he would become somewhat more valuable. But we need size, athleticism, rebounding, shotblocking up front, and that's not Darius. If he returned as a 5th big man or something, that's cool, but don't think he can be part of the main rotation along with Brad unless the other man in the rotation is Ben Walace or something. Has a contract option, and doubt he returns to us unless we can guarantee minutes. Be nice to have him under contract, as might have some value in trade.
Thomas ( 4 ) -- contract is heinous for a bencher, yet really needs to be replaced as a starter. Not sure he'd accept a bench role anyway.
Mobley ( 4 ) -- really don't think he's the right fit, and not realy sure where he would be really. Kind of plays his own game, and I can't recall a title team with mid-level players freelancing (as opposed to the top stars). If Peja goes, his shooting is more valuable, but still small, not a good defender.
Tag ( 3 ) -- personally I like the big oaf, but Rick obviously has no idea what to do with him, so he's just a large wasted contract and roster spot. Contract in last year though, so maybe pretty valuable trade piece.
Corliss ( 3 ) -- no real role on the team with Peja around, except as a problematic undersized big man. Big contract and not getting younger. Appreciate toughness, but not at this price and with these skills and size. If Peja is moved this could go up to a 4 or 5 depending on how many minutes open up at SF.
You pretty much said everyone but him. We need to look at everybody and say that everyone can leave at a price. No one stays 100% for sure.
