I'll be surprised if he can buy minutes there. He's going to be behind Quickley, Schroeder, and now Bruce Brown. Unless they make another move, I'll be surprised if he sees much time this season. My guess is they probably see him as a developmental prospect and will re-sign him on a cheap short contract and see if they have something in him moving forward.

Anyone here have a highlight reel of Kira’s best moments as a Pel?

Ok I am a self proclaimed non-getter of the monetary side of the nba

I get sending out Kira to get under cap, but why are we sending out a random second round pick as well?

Sending the only 2nd we had available to trade
So we have to waste a 2nd to get off an option we unnecessarily picked up on a dude last season then proceeded to never play this dude...

Not the best roster management.

Because the recipient is taking a player they don't want to balance the dollars out. I'm sure there are several teams willing to dump a guy with that salary, but the Pels throw in a 2nd, so the pels get to do the dump.

Probably the price to pay for not taking back a contract.

I didn’t even realize it was possible to make an NBA trade where you only send stuff out and get nothing in return

Its speculation but if you were going to make a bigger move, you'd likely use someone like Kira as an aggregator.

But this deal doesn't preclude us from doing other deals that come along.

My guess is they aren't necessarily planning anything but you never know what will happen

Who could forget him being the first guy off the bench in the play-in game last year after having barely played the entire year?

Good memories

Is it just me or is anyone else a bit upset Naji wasn’t included in this trade somehow?

To me this would help so much in our rotations.
