OKC/NO

I imagine opinions about value will vary widely - have at it.

OKC in:
Herb Jones

NO in:
Isaiah Joe
#15
#24

Why for OKC: Triple down on the awesome defense, adding a perimeter player more capable of playing up and guarding power forwards when needed, and bet on Jones's shooting getting back to previous levels when he recovers fully from injury.

Why for NO: Solve some shooting problems and get two more shots at an impact player for a team in transition.

think Philly fans deal of 3 for 7/herb is better than this

Have to think this offer gets beat. And based on the playoffs not sure OKC can give up the shooting for Jones who is duplicative with some of the other defenders. Jones' shooting is a bit of a mystery in terms of which guy shows up.

Replace the #24 with future one with upside DEN 29 1st for example.

If this offer is legit and herb is potentially on the move , it’s the clearly better offer than OKC’s in OP post.

Not a bad target for OKC even if it’s duplicative cause it’s defence at a different position.

Relevance? We have no idea if that's available and if we want we could post in every single deal, OKC could outbid that lol.

I like the OP. OKC just says we want all the wing defenders forever. Probably a slight overpay but OKC can afford it.

Pels can't get good enough to take advantage of this cheap deal so realize his value while they can.

i was implying herb is valued more than OP (at least to other fans) so OKC need to add more

Nope, just liek the OKC/Dal one above it, this one favors OKC more than the other team

I'm not a fan of the move from the Pels side unless they trade Zion. I think there's good talent in the draft, but that trade creates fit issues. Herb isn't a great shooter but he's got great size, and playing him with Trey and Zion gives the Pels a size advantage they lose by replacing a 6'7 guy for a 6'3 guy.
