We'd basically be looking at a worthless player and some kind of shitty 2nd. I don't see anything else.

It would be essentially us doing Willy a solid and getting an extremely minor "asset".

Herb to OG is wayyy more than minimal improvement.


I actually believe Herb is a better defender than OG. Offensively, OG is better, but not as clear-cut as a 4th. option. When the dust settles, BI, Zion, Herb, Dyson, and TM3 should be the Pels core moving forward. Add a big that can move on the perimeter and hold his own in the post, and a movement shooter coming off the bench and the Pels are in business this year.

Yeah Billy needs to understand that with Jonas getting beaten up so much and Jax most likely being gone he's going to get minutes because you can't rely on Larry staying healthy.

Pat Williams and Coby White for Billy and Graham?

In all seriousness, I don’t see anything Bulls have that i would want unless they send Bradley and 2nds

frick the Bulls. They colluded with Lonzo and deserve no help from us at all.

We are getting salary matching and 2nd, possibly a fake 2nd. I don't see Willy having much value.

ESPN Sources: Nets-Mavs trade still hasn’t been made official with league office because Nets are evaluating opportunities to expand deal w/ a third team. Teams are expected to make two-way deal official in next couple of hours – unless Nets find something bigger to fold into it.

Not even sure they have a fake 2nd to give. They have mortgages pretty much all their picks for years.


Best they can probably do is what was mentioned above, which is flipping an expiring like Coby White to us for Graham as part of the deal.



Not a big get for us but dumping Graham’s contract gives us some wiggle room with team construction / tax.

I'm sure they are calling every team in the league (except the Lakers) and offering up whatever picks they can pull together to get someone to take Simmons for whatever salary they can match, and no one is biting.

Are you kidding? that would be huge, and I can't see us being able to do that without giving up picks ourselves

I’m talking about White’s on court value, not his salary savings.

Cutting about $15m in long term money is a lot of help but I don’t necessarily see White contributing much.

Unnecessary use of assets.

Herb and 2 firsts for a guy that will duplicate Herb's defense and be the 4th or 5th option on offense. Then he'll demand a 25+ million dollar extension. Thats if Klutch even allows him to stay in NOLA.

Woj followed up that previous tweet with:

Shamit saying rumors for asking price of OG are HIGH.

Kind of goes without saying.

They are on the precipice of a major rebuild, meaning that OG, Siakam, Van Vleet, and other guys with championship experience are available for a price.


Anyone not named Scottie Barnes is available for the right offer.

Well luckily you aren’t Griff or Langdon

If I have a chance to add a 25 year old as good as OG, especially for good value, I’m not passing on that because of who represents him.

And clearly Griff and Langdon are taking that route as well given how much interest we reportedly have in him.

With few sellers, they may actually get it.

So many teams are in a logjam for playoff spots someone will get desperate to get a leg up this season.
