    Agree. If you are on multiyear minimum. Have NG deal and can play some. Dont see a risk there.
    It will never hurts.

If he earns a spot great and you can package him with other assets to upgrade later. I see no harm in that.
    Non guaranteed contracts are no longer worth anything in a trade (unless the contract becomes guaranteed before the trade). Only guaranteed portions of contracts are used in the calculations for trades now.

    It's not guaranteed if he is released before the season. If he makes the roster than you have a expiring contract on a min deal.

    As in Jalil? Because we already have Emeka

    If so, who is the odd man out? Surely we aren't keeping all the front court guys...

    Could there be a trade in the works to move someone? Maybe Ajinca?

    Or something involving Niko for Butler? I can dream right?

    Probably Emeka Okafor will be gone in this situation.
    Ajinca is going to be used as an expiring. Now for a bigger expiring or at the deadline.

    jahlil potential signing, MM musing on injuries and pels lineups never playing together. one of our bigs must have lost their leg in a tragic car door closing accident.

    Jahlil worked a lot on his body recently. he bet on himself.

    he understands that no one will pay him more than minimum.

    it might be smart to leave yourself (I mean NOP) option on the second year.
    probably it won't be a deal breaker but still

    he had some knee issues in the past. but with minimum deal it is not a big risk


    Jahlil terrifies me a little. Also he has some potential.
    for a minimum it might be worth a shot. Pels can cut him without much hesitation...

    There's very little risk, what terrifies you?

    I can't find anything saying we signed Okafor?

    What terrifies is his lack of defense.
    As an offensive player he is fine as a 4-5th big.
    will he be fine with smaller role. Lack of playing time. Like Emeka...

    His agent is well known Bill Duffy. Shams and Woj knows him. Expect the announcement from them first.
    Of course if sides will agree. But interest is there.

    I mean his defense can't be worse than Diallo's right?

    IMO there is no room for Diallo AND Jahlil in NO.
    Especially when they share agent...

    I'm thinking Diallo is out in a trade if they are going after Okafor.

    Maybe: Hill and Diallo for Bazemore?

    I will do any combination of such deal. With Diallo as a sweetener.
    Heck. I will throw Pels second rounder into this deal.

    My only concern is what if Bazemore picks up his 19M option?

    Makes things harder to go after a high level FA.
    I think Bazemore only helps us this season and we hope he balls out and he tests free agency.
