I'm saying that he will have more value at the deadline if a team decides they need someone. Supply and demand. Or if they decide the season is over and they want to get rid of someone for an expiring. It's last chance to make a move. We don't have to do anything. As far as I'm aware he's not with the team so he's not a distraction. His agent has likely burned a pretty big bridge and we're done with them. If someone calls, we'll answer. Otherwise its sunk cost water under the bridge. But his value will rise in the last week when teams needs become a little more clear and they may or may not get desperate. We're not desperate.
I don't know how the salaries match up but how about Bjelica for Nassir Little. Gives Portland a floor spacer next to Dame and CJ since Little is so up and down
NBA free agency: Utah Jazz showing interest in Nemanja Bjelica
Now, however, that has completely shifted. Bjelica is currently very much available and it appears the Jazz may be in pursuit.
Later, several reports from local media, including KSL’s Andy Larsen and the Salt Lake Tribune’s Tony Jones, indicated that the Jazz indeed have interest in Bjelica and are planning to pursue him.
well this thread turned into a big back and forth argument lol.
Heat fans: don't trade Herro for Harden, Giannis, or Beal
Kings fan: What can we get for Belly
It was said a few weeks ago he asked for a leave from the team for personal reasons. Although Walton said he was still in the team plans at that point as well.
According to the random news posts Philly would like him. Let's just cast out any silly bit where we do a mega-trade. If we were willing to send Buddy and Bjeli what could we expect back? Thybulle + what else? Seth and a pick?

Probably just one of their few youngsters. They are already in the tax, so any added salary costs them more. If I understand correctly, they do have a trade exemption that Bjelica fits in. Simple and sweet.

I was browsing their roster. They have lots of guards and not a lot of front court depth. Obviously Thybulle was lock down just a few days ago and seems like a guy that fits what we want here. But I don't see how Bjelica gets that deal done. If they can't afford a larger trade they don't seem to have a lot that interests us? Their second round pick is likely to be in the later part of the 50s.

I don't think it's too much to ask to get their first-rounder this year, since it's likely to be in the 26-30 range. They can use their Horford trade exception to send us no players back and we get their first rounder. I'd even throw the Lakers' second round pick back to them if they wanted a cookie.
