Kind of disappointing we won't get to see Evans play today... if the deal isn't done. But whatever, it's summer league.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2026 10:04 am

Official.
I wonder if the deal got expanded.

I wonder why the Wolves Pr didn’t offer the same welcome to Green?

With the deal official this means Josh Green cannot be aggregated with other players in a trade for 60 days.

We can trade him but we cannot add another player to the trade. That is what "aggregating" means.

Re: Wolves acquire Lamelo Ball and Josh Green for Naz
One thing I'll add in about Green, if anything just for devil's advocate purposes...we don't HAVE to trade him.
The guy shot 45% on corner 3s last year, which was a staple of the Hornets offense with LaMelo running the show.
If anything, Green could actually start for us and play a significant role.
Just something to think about.

If Jaden plays a lot at the 4, you absolutely could start Green. Ball-Ant-Green-Jaden-Rudy. The bench could have some scoring punch with Bones-Ayo-TSJ-Lyles-Joan.

No. Teams below the 2nd apron can aggregate players in trades. You cannot aggregate players when you are above the 2nd apron, and that is why we are hard capped to the 2nd.

Clarity here. When you say we can't aggregate - you mean WE can't combine players going out, right? But we could trade one guy to a team for two players - as long as our trade partner isn't likewise under restrictions.mlhouse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2026 9:28 amNo. Teams below the 2nd apron can aggregate players in trades.

Re: Wolves acquire Lamelo Ball and Josh Green for Naz
Since we are under the 2nd apron we can configure whatever trade we want as long as it has proper salary matching. We can aggregate players. And we can accept multiple players in a trade.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2026 9:32 amClarity here. When you say we can't aggregate - you mean WE can't combine players going out, right?

Our first apron trade limitation is we cannot accept more salary than we send out.

We can't aggregate Green until his 60 day's is up in September. Other than that we can aggregate contracts, we just can't take back more money than we send out. We can take back the exact same amount or we can take back less.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2026 9:32 amClarity here.

Only teams IN the second apron cannot aggregate contracts in a trade.

Ball gets his #1 jersey, so Shannon will need to change numbers again. He should change to #23 to guarantee Lebron comes and he has to change it again.
