Underrated Two-Way Players to Target:

[BonesJones]

When @SwissBlazer attended that second skybox game, he was telling me all about how he texts with Sefalosha and has been trying to convince him forever that he should go to Portland.

I'm certainly in favor. I think he's been out of OKC long enough that the cow patty smell should have washed off by now.

@SwissBlazer What would he say? Did it seem like he'd be interested if the opportunity presented itself? He'd be a great piece here for the next couple years.

nice exercise but we simply won't have capspace to sign anyone, better to focus on draft and trades for guys who are not UFAs

Sign-and-trades and cap dumps are possible. 2 of the 5 I brought up were players under contract we could pursue a trade for and 1 (Sefelosha) could be had for the MLE.

harkless, #20, #26 to Miami for willie reed and #14, pretty sure heat can absorb the difference in $

"Buddies" is maybe a bit of an exagération. But let's say that I know him since before he was drafted by Chicago. He used to play for an Italian team (Biella). Since that day we have quite a lot of contacts and he definitely knows who i am rooting for. Always had nice words for the team. Last few years he was under contract in Atlanta so it wasn't his choice. But I always let him know that a defnsive spécialist would be key in Portland. When he will be back in Switzerland I will see him. Hopefully before 1st of july

Can teams do sign and trades during the draft, i.e. sign and trade a player for draft picks, etc....or no because the player doesn't officially become a free agent till July?
