Ujiri is aware of the speculation swirling in the imagination of fans and even some rival executives about a package including Ross and the expiring contracts of little-used Landry Fields and Chuck Hayes that could yield a veteran big to round out the team’s front court rotation.

David West of the Indiana Pacers is the name that has been bold-printed most often.

The only problem with those scenarios — fanciful or not — is that Ujiri sees the 24-year-old as the kind of player his team needs, rather than one that should be moved along.

“I would be shocked if we did something with Terrence,” Ujiri said Tuesday night. “Trust me. I can’t tell you more how I totally don’t think that would happen before Thursday.”
