Might be better at this point to hold onto Lupul until the summer or even next season. Who is going to want to grab a player who, in addition to being frequently injured, is currently injured, for this years playoff run?
Can he reach 100% before March 2? Lupul seems like a better trade-deadline trade than an off-season trade, because maaaaybe he can stay healthy for one post-season, but a full regular + post-season? Forget it!

Forget it!Considering the years left on his deal anyone trading for him would have to be pretty comfortable paying him for a whole season so I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Take on Lupul in the off-season and you just know he's getting hurt at some point.

They should just have him go home and show up again next year.
He did.
