Naji replacement? Idk yall. He got 7 rebounds a game in 9 nba games last year. Shot very well. 31 years old.

Wonder if we're making a trade soon. We usually never carry 15.

So are we really not going to get a starting quality center?!?

Bulls fans love this dude. Some were calling for him to start over Patrick Williams.

Looks like he got hurt season before last.

So much for the team being cheap. This now puts us about 2 million under the hard cap.

This would have to come in the form of an Ingram or CJ trade, there’s just none available in free agency

The obvious deal for both sides, IMO, is Ingram and JRE for Collins and Kessler.

But what if it’s just JRE and 2 picks for Kessler? Dumb trade I know but as a thought exercise what would you do about starters and rotations?

A deal I am bantering about in my head that I wonder would be appealing to all parties is

Ingram and Sensabaugh to POR
Grant and JRE to Utah
Collins and Kessler to Nola

They are trading Hawk to get Kessler if I was a betting man.

That makes sense too but who do both CJ and Trey both come off bench? Kessler?

Was that actually a rumor? I remember lots of Pels fans proposing it because it makes sense from a lot of different angles, but I had never seen where Utah had interest in a Hawk for Kessler deal.

This move may signify that an Ingram trade is on the horizon... I sure hope it's for Kessler and w.e. else Griff can get.

Center by committee. It’s an obsolete position according to conventional wisdom…

If we're rerouting Collins and Utah is adding 2 1st round picks, sure.

Pascal Siakam garnered 3 1sts and Bruce Brown, who I would think values at about a non-lotto 1st.

I've always liked Javonte Green. H can come in an do all the dirty work, like a Naji.

I don’t think that type of deal exists for BI. Especially now.

He’s not valued very highly in the league.

Looks like a good signing. We needed wing depth after losing Dyson and Naji. Is he really only 6'5? He looks bigger in the highlights.

Probably.

The take is honestly, roll into the season with what we have, we can get desperate and fill a center if we're willing IMHO
