Trying to get back into the draft, I've been presenting this package to a number of teams in the late first round.  Bjelica is out of my rotation (played like 3 minutes last game, and now Mirotic is coming back), and his contract, while cheap, isn't negligible. Few teams had enough space to take in Bjelica, and those who did weren't interested, so I set my sights on the early second round. Portland was the taker with the best offer.

I accept.

I like Bjelica. He showed a lot of potential in the beginning of the season. I think he will be much more comfortable with NBA speed in his second year and can become a solid stretch-4 role player. He just needs to bulk up a little, not foul every time on low post defense and start taking threes (which he can make) more aggressively.

Not the cheapest contract but also not too bad with higher salary cap.

[Steve Jobs]

I accept. A bit more than is probably worth spending to get back into the front end of the 2nd round, but the value is decent.

[Pete Maravich]

I accept

[Justin Timberlake]

Accept. I like it for both
