Last rights, are like prayers before a dirt nap.

If there's no improvement, then sure, ship them out. But I do believe that Walker and Pierce are only going to get better, including on defense, and the right coach and some maturation (agree with Cecil on that) will make them perennial All-Stars. Stith is the kind of player we should hold on to, not dump with bad salaries. (And Pot, despite being talentless, is not really a 'bad' contract. Like (I think) Alex has pointed out, that's the kind of center  $5M/yr gets you in the NBA these days - most centers making that kind of money are pretty much stiffs, except for those on the rookie scale.)
