TRADE: Tyus Jones to DAL | Branham to CHA

[Chicagojk]

Thanks for that long analysis.

So back to the question. If I understand you correctly, your preference would be that no one gets waived, and they do NOT make moves to convert Nemby and/or Cisse to regular NBA deals and to lock them up on future years at NBA minimum deals (which means their seasons end by the end of Feb and they go back to the GL)?

When is the date where players need to be on a roster to be playoff eligible?   If so, I would get right up to that date.  If you decide either of Bagley or Middleton are not in your plans for next year, I would let them go and try to get Nemhbard and/or Cisse on a minimum deal this year and for net year (non guaranteed).   I think both have shown enough that they deserve that.    Maybe they don't make the squad but I think both should.   

If you like what you see from Middleton and Bagley, I am fine keeping them if you think you are ok with what they are looking for next year.
