Look at my trade on the 1st page that’s a multiplayer Kira package for a cheap backup big like Nick Richard’s. You may need to route Naji to a 3rd team, but you should be able to add him to a deal like that and probably pull the draft assets out, or let them come from a 3rd team.

What to do with Naji is one of the bigger questions for the trade deadline in my mind. Especially if they think they can’t afford to keep him next year. Do you keep him as extra playoff depth? He could be helpful in some matchups like LeBron. Or do you cash out for 2nds while you can?

Unfortunately it’s a business, and moving Naji is probably the right move right now.
I love his energy on and off the court and you want guys like that on your team, but we’ve got too many guys and Naji is just taking minutes from more important future pieces.

I imagine Naji is going to get a Kenny hustle type deal from a team that is going to play him more regularly than we will going forward. It’s really better for both the Pels and Naji. We don’t need to pay our 12th man $6-8M/yr.

How many 2nds, 1 or 2? What's the odds of actually hitting on one?
