Open up playing time for NSJ possibly?

He's a 2

Zeke Nnaji would have to come with some sort of draft capital. Otherwise, friggin' silly. If we're just looking for a cheapish backup body look to UFA - Tillman, Val (not so cheap), Drummond, Smith (not so cheap), Achiuwa (not so cheap), Plumdog, Muscala, Biz, Goga, Bamba, etc.

EDIT: Know NYK has been trying to move Robinson and isn't super-set at the backup PG. Wonder if they'd consider Micic a valuable enough piece for their run to straight swap? #'s work and would save them $$$ they could use to chase their own UFA's. Suppose we'd just hold on to Reggie in this case. Seems like Robinson should be 40, but he's still 26.

Nnaji is exactly that sort of trade target.

This probably signals we're keeping Jackson too.

Bulls are trying to trade Lavine and adding a future 1st just to get off his contract.

I wouldn't hate that if Bridges walks. Not like we will contend with Lavine he's injury prone.

Nuggets can offer up some pick swaps and they do have their 2031 first, doubt they are using that to move off Nnjai though, unless they are bringing back a real player.

Unless you guys in Detroit outbid us, which is entirely likely.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

We are both bad teams and could use him. I have no idea how we’re going to do in FA w new management. Hopefully get some picks/young players using our cap space but Bridges could be a long term piece. I hope we make a run for him. Good luck in FA for your Hornets.

Pistons have a lot more cap space to burn through, that's for sure.

Valanciunas to the Wizards, 3/30.

That's one C option off the board

That's not as much as I thought he'd get. I would've offered 2yrs 30m.

Then send Richards somewhere to clear his 5m off the books.

Plumlee signed with Suns, JV went cheaply to the Wiz, Hartenstein rumored to OKC, maybe Clayton here?
