In-season trade

I know it's early and all, but everything I've read magic-related about trades has us shipping out Vuc as our main tradable asset. Am I the only one who would prefer to part ways with Biyombo? I think Vuc is just better overall and we might even be able to get more in return for Biyombo depending on the team we're trading with. With Vuc slowly expanding his range out to the 3 pt line and improving on defense it just makes more sense to keep him. Both are on good contracts and Serge and Vuc play much better together than Serge and Biyombo in my opinion. It's rough having 2 guys that chase blocks so hard, and the defense is better served to have Vuc play the position game while Serge looks to protect the rim.

Also, while I admit it's still early, Biyombo has not impressed me much on the glass. I can see he's created some second chance opportunities here and there, but overall not what I was hoping for. If our goal is to stick with Serge at the 4 (assuming we resign him), then Vuc compliments him much better with respect to rebounding as well. On top of all this, on a team that's so devoid of scoring, Vuc is a much better compliment, especially with EP on the floor.

Maybe I'm crazy but I just don't see the rush to trade Vuc over Biyombo.
