Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News: As the San Jose season has spiraled to the point of no return, Doug Wilson has little choice to admit defeat and potentially sell off a few parts at this year’s trade deadline.
There are other candidates but two make the biggest sense. Those would be unrestricted free agents’ Melker Karlsson and Brenden Dillon. With San Jose’s looming cap problems, one or both will likely become unaffordable. After that, it would take a more lucrative trade offer for Wilson to consider trading anyone else.
