I guess they're about to sign Karlo to. 2 way to round off the season.

Unfortunately he might take Naji’s spot next year. Hate we won’t be able to give him what he deserves. He’s a big part of our team’s chemistry but he will want $12 million a year or more I would expect. Really hope they can come to a deal with Jonas to keep him here the rest of his career in the NBA. Maybe a 2 year $22 million deal. I would expect him to return to play in Lithuania before he retires like a lot of European players tend to do. It’s well known Jonas and his family like being here with the team I say his benefit is worth his deficiencies. Maybe we can find a good athletic center project in the draft.

We have enough wings and the guard position is just as crowded to a degree.

Naji doesnt do anything special, but more average across everything. And when I say average I dont mean it in a negative way. Hes just a jack of all trades, degree of none.

We had an extra roster spot and 2-ways can't play in playoffs. So it just gives us an extra player for playoffs.

Does not necessarily have anything to do with Karlo.

He is the perfect bench role player G/F.

Where is Karlo? Is he even here around the team? He looked pretty good in his G-League minutes. Pretty bouncy. Good stroke from outside. Runs the floor. I thought they might try to sneak him on to the roster for the playoffs, but I think we'd have seen him by now if they were planning on that...

Both Naji and Jonas have been valuable parts of our success so far. In a perfect world, we would keep them.

Honestly if BI could net you like an Allen or a big and other good assets would you do it.

Move on from Namce, keep Jonas, and keep Naji.

This isn’t a move out of hate or dislike for BI. The guy is great, but his next contract may limit flexibility.
