    We have two good defending forwards on the bench! Snell and Nance - and they also shoot threes. I bet Stotts would've loved this...

    1st is lotto protected 1-14 until 2028....if it doesn't convey its a 2nd. It's pretty much DJJ for Larry Nance...what a steal. Nance's salary decreases next year as well.

    Considering how CLE was irrationally asking for two firsts for Nance just a few months ago, I think this is OK. Would have been better if we used our MLE on the right fits in the first place instead of a square peg like Jones Jr.

    I think Jeff Teague would be perfect. Dante Exum would also be a very interesting option.

    It's only that if we miss the playoffs in each of the next 7 yrs.

    Which would indicate that it probably wasn't much of a steal...

    no worries, you know Olshey is feeding Woj that line and detail just to make it look like we got a ridiculous steal.

    Should mention that the 1st being protected prevents us from including any future firsts in other (*cough* CJ *cough*) deals, excepting "first available" language, which also makes pick-swap inclusion incredibly difficult.

    I wonder what kinda contract Lauri got. Tons of S&Ts this year, I thought the rules had made this sorta thing near impossible, but CHI alone is involved in multiple.

    He ain't gonna be part of the playoff rotation. I'm only considering players of significance.

    This is our best acquisition since RoCo. Really genuinely exciting! What is this strange, unfamiliar feeling? Could it be...optimism?

    Gotta think that's the last "tinkering" trade - we have literally no disposable contracts left (and I REALLY don't want us giving up any more picks). If there are any significant trades after this, they'll be "blow up the team" trades. So we're going to run with CJ + Dame for at least the first half of the season, folks.

    Only took 3 firsts to turn Ariza and Jones into RoCo and Nance.

    Yep. I mean, it is a good fit. But with that detail it feels like this is pretty much it going into next season. I like that Olshey made a calculated move but he better hope this puts us in the top 4 teams in the West. I'm still not convinced that it does.
