Let's take a look at our roster and see how we would manage it if these guys made money.

Long-term contracts:
Jordan Murphy - One-time bargain marque player who earned his Multi-million salary still producing and running out his time.
Amir Coffey - High Draft pick who is underperforming his max contract due to being forced to play out of position.
Daniel Oturu - High Draft Pick is exceeding expectations. May someday be a man among boys in the B1G.
Gabe Kalesheur - Late round draftee who has overcome all expectations. Granted a contract extension mid-season and looks to have a bright future.

Possible Buy-out:
Dupree McBrayer - Not living up to his contract. Fading potential and high cost makes him possible buy-out and waive material.
Curry - high Salaried player who has suffered injuries. Management needs to decide if pride and character earns him the chance to heal and reclaim his status.

Trade material:
Isaiah Washington - High draft pick who just hasn't caught on here. May return a valuable asset through a trade and flourish in a different setting.
Michael Hurt - Trade material for teams looking to expend cap space. Feels like "the contract formerly known as Michael Hurt". Never got out of his own way confidence wise. Plays hard when in, although with little effect.

10 Day contracts:
Stockman - Looked good early and earned consecutive renewals of his ten-days. Right now needed for development of Oturu in practice if nothing else. (Crowd favorite, most feel he deserves more time.)
Stull - contract should not be renewed. Can get more production from a variety of free agents walking the street.

Development Program:
Jarvis Omersa - tremendous potential! Needs further seasoning on CBA team to build his confidence and develop his BBall IQ.

Coach:
Richard Pitino - feels like he is still cutting his chops 6 years in. Regularly gets worked by opposing teams coach and it feels like he fails to get the most of his players. Management hesitant to pull the trigger based on his buy-out.

Add in what you feel like!
