There are over a dozen guys who could potentially be that, but its hard to figure out who will be the next Reggie Jackson in a sea of 10 guys who wont. Again, it would require knowing that man as a human - something I dont have access to.

Now hopefully we can get Lauri and I?ll be happy with the team.
C: Jonas, Hayes, Willy
PF: Zion, Lauri, Gabriel
SF: BI, Murphy, Naji
SG: NAW, Temple, Didi
PG: Graham, Satoransky, Kira
That?s a decent 3 deep depth chart IMO. Jonas is a huge upgrade at center. Lauri would be a huge upgrade as stretch 4/5 off the bench. Graham is likely a push at point guard. Now if Kira takes a big sophomore leap and NAW takes a big 3rd year leap we could be a way better team. I think Temple and Murphy should help with our perimeter defense. Willie Green should be a huge upgrade at coach as well. I?m liking the squad even though I wish we could of gotten an upgrade at point guard. I still like the 3 guys we have since they all are different types of lead guard.
I suppose if it was clear who was going to be that guy, teams would be tripping over themselves to get the guy and he wouldn't be on a value contract.
I would like some kind of trade that is along the lines of:

Bulls get: Josh Hart, Jake Laymen, 2024 2nd back
Wolves get: Markannen
Pels get: Juan Hernangomez, Wolves protected 1st
Bulls get value for a guy who doesnt wanna be there. Wolves get the guy they want and get off
I like this idea. Hernangomez is nasty and has some ability as a stretch big. Also get a protected first back
Lol. Half of these players are international and the other half are guys from the South. Interesting mix this year.
Daulton Hommes signed to a 2-way contract.
Forward Daulton Hommes — the 2019 Division II player of the year — has agreed to a two-way deal with New Orleans, his agent James Dunleavy of @excelbasketball tells ESPN. He’s playing for Pels summer league team after a season in Italy.

I don't understand this because the dude looked like ****** in that first game.
I said the same thing... but I looked at his scouting video after I saw that he signed the 2-way, and the dude got skills. He didn't show ANY today but he can flat out shoot. Maybe he just had a bad game, but he must show them a ton at practice.

Goal isnt to get the best players to try and develop them to become NBA players, in all likelihood. You want a couple of guys down there who are happy to be there and then if you wanna send Herb or Didi down there to get some run because they are racking up DNP's, you have some steady guys on the roster who are no threat to try to take opportunities away from the guys you really want to get them. This team is bursting with young players as it is - our two way guys werent going to ever gonna become active roster guys regardless.
I think it?s as much if not more so the fact that Herb has players himself into an actual contract through practice and that first game. He clearly has value on this team as a guy who can give opposing wings fits.
A lot of the time these two way deals are favors for agents and things like that. It?s not always about basketball.
Four-time All-Star guard Kemba Walker has agreed to a contract buyout with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and upon clearing waivers, plans to sign with the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN.
Well, that's a thing...
Kyle Lowry had Dallas as his "#2" team when he chose to play in Miami. Pels were offering the most $$ but apparently weren't really a consideration for Lowry.
That happens a lot to small market teams... you have to be a winning organization that players respect for a small market team to get a chance...and even with that it's still not a guarantee to attract those type of free agents just like the spurs and mavs but at least you get considered...
Had a dream Hart was a sign and trade to Indianapolis. Compensation wasn’t significant.
Im with you but change Josh Hart from Indianapolis to Chicago for Markkanen.
Kind of expected Jones to be the other 2-way. Yeah, not sure what they see in Hommes. However, we only have the one game to judge him (and he was bad).
Hart for Hield...where do i sign up.
Now that the Memphis deal is finalized, appears that is dead.
So, basically a 3&D stretch 4, exactly what we are looking for. He may never be a NBA player, but he has shown enough skills to earn a 2-way for a better look.
He's losing out on $20 mill to leave OKC. That's a lot of $$ but again $$ isn't everything.
I'm starting to think now it's hard to move Hart. No one seems to want him? Or maybe they want more to be included w/ him?
Hahahaha. Good luck with that, Chicago.
Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
