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

It's not about drafting with those 2nds. 2nds are useful in many of the unsexy, but necessary transactions. It took 4 seconds to dump Devonte Graham and that kind of wiped us out. Use a 2nd to dump Kira and you're depleting your low stockpile of 2nds again.

If Naji is going to leave anyway in the summer because you can't afford the pay day he's earned, you have to consider getting something for him now. The question is, what's more valuable to the Pels? Another half season of Naji, or whatever you can cash him out for now? I've already said it's not an easy decision. I can see some playoff matchups where you would want someone like Naji available.
