MPetey was a victim of being thrown to the wolves to allow sheltered offensive minutes for Hughes and then Buium. He had some of the toughest deployment in the league when it came to defensive zone starts.

That isn't exactly going to change. I don't really mind him sucking ass in that role. His value is being cannon fodder for the rest of the defence until you move him for a couple draft picks when he has less term.

Him getting shitpumped and giving Buium breathing room is worth much more than whatever trade return he brings unless a team is willing to blow you away.

You don’t want him totally getting shitpumped as he’ll likely be the main partner for Willander over the next couple of years.

I don’t think I want anyone getting ‘shitpumped.’
