Royce plays 35+ minutes per night but that doesn't make him untradeable.
That NOLA team is built around Ingram, Zion and Val. When Zion comes back, they aren't sitting Ingram or Zion to play Herb. Maybe they play Herb at the 2, but I guarantee his minutes suffer when Zion comes back.
He is attainable. Do we want to win a title or not? Hell, trade Clarkson if we have to. This Herb kid could be exactly what we need to get over the hump.
Herb only takes 1.5 3's per game. He's not a true floor spacer.

That's why I said it's a pipedream. I'm sure they will slide him beside Ayton once Crowder burns out. He could and probably should be starting over Crowder right now, though.

Omer Yurtseven is making me sad. Currently tearing the Suns apart in Phoenix. 4 points, 11 boards, 7 assists with 0 turnover, basically on a triple double alert half way through 3 quarters. Also a +12, fourth highest amongst all players on the floor.
And we took DOKE over him.
It's like the 2007 when we took Fesenko over Marc Gasol happening all over again.

I would be alright with sending Detroit expiring and picks for grant. Grant played really well against us in the round against Denver and I would love to have that on our team. Joe and Gay plus picks works for salary. Also not sure if smart and clarkson are considered comparable overall but if smart can bring as much to the team as JC does but with more defense I’d be all for a swap there of sorts.

Yurtseven is arguably the best center on the floor tonight. and he's probably gonna go back to DNPs when Bam comes back. Heat will have a tough decision to make in the summer.
There are reports that they won't pick up his option to save money. He has been disappointment for them mostly after they reached for him.

I like Yurtsevens game too.
That would be a shocker. Wow. He's shown out in the recent games he's got PT.

they will keep Jones over Zion. A guy who could play heavy minutes is better than a guy who doesn't play at all, which is the case with Zion right now.
Not new news, but I don't think Mitchell and Bogey can be in the same closing lineup. They are too poor of defenders.

We could get Jones right now if we traded some combination of Clarkson (to a 3rd team), Butler (to NOLA) and a pick to NOLA (probably from the 3rd team).

It would definitely take either one of Clarkson, Bogey or Conley to get Jones. i just don't see it happening.

It's highly unlikely, but it's the type of bold move we should do to get us over the hump. We are so close, but we sorely lack a lock down defender.

Bogey is so good offensively and so clutch that you just can't sit him. I Agree about their defense though.

Without a lock down "go to defender", it doesn't matter who we put out there. Royce is a good defender, but he doesn't stop smaller guys who light us up. Conley doesn't either, and there definitely isn't anybody we got off the bench.
We need a great primary defender or at least two high level defenders we can bring off the bench like the Clippers did to us last postseason.

It feels like DM is getting worse as a defender.

Knowing Quin, he'd probably play Herb limited minutes and give all his time to Joe and Royce. Lol. Can't do something that makes sense, can he?

Let's just stop with the "Royce is a good defender" narrative. He is not. He is average. He got his *** eaten tonight.
Seems the better he gets offensively the worse he gets defensively.
He'll go hero mode on offense, then go back on the other end and just relax. From his body language it seems like he basically says, "ok guys, I'll take care of the offense, you guys take care of the defense."
