Maybe. Makes no sense to me. I guess they figure a decent price so maybe you can trade him later? Maybe Ted just refuses to tank.

Davis and Coulibaly both looked good today in the win. Davis was 9-17 overall including 3-4 on three balls. For 22 points. Bilal 5-10 including making the only three he took. Most impressively 4 blocks and 8-9 on free throws. Shows he has a decent stroke.  19 points.

One more consolation game I believe.
