THJ for the bench!

[ItsGoTime]

I think it is obvious Chicago doesn't really count on OPJ moving forward, as he lost his starting job to rookie Williams. There will not be many good offers for him as contenders don't really have 25 mil of salary they are willing to trade away. Unless of course Chicago makes a splashy trade for a star and use OPJ salary there. GSW for example is a team that might be looking for expiring contracts not to pay gazillions of taxes for next three years.

I am sort of intrigued in him, but I wouldn't trade THJ. Johnson+Powell plus assets for him would be my move.

I really like this reasoning and trade thought. I think Chi might bite on that too. I'd hate to miss the opportunity to see what JJ can do on this team, but I think for the upgrade, it is worth it. We could sign him in FA as well though. 


I think this only happens (well besides the point that the Mavs will probably NEVER trade Powell) if WCS is meshing and playing well when JJ becomes available to trade.
