Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II has sustained a small fracture in his foot and is expected to miss 2-to-3 months, sources tell ESPN. Critical loss for the Mavs.

So likely no Daniel Gafford on the trade market.

Noise is growing louder around the Bulls going all-in on a full-scale rebuild, which could include trading Coby White.White is valued highly by Chicago, but they appear open to listening to trade offers as he would net the most significant return of any player on their roster.

I really like Coby White and hope he lands somewhere good. I was high on him back in the 2019 draft also and he took a while to develop but he's turned into a good combo guard.

He's also responsible for one of the most wholesome draft day videos out there when he gets hyped hearing Cam Johnson was drafted. Cam was a college teammate of Coby's.

I was quite low on him. I usually don't like college combo guards who are not excel at anything (Jamal Murray was another such type). I was proven wrong in both cases.

Having said that in his first two years in the NBA White was quite annoying to watch. He was shot-happy and ineffective. Around the All-Star break in his 3rd season he started to improve, his shot selection got better, his defense improved and he could be a quite valuable complementary player under right circumstances.

I was low on him too as i heard rumblings that we may draft him.

He was aaaaaaaaawful his first 2 years, crazy bad, then saw his role reduced and was still bad but less inefficient. He is really inconsistent and not much of a passer but when he is on he's on.

Probably more of a Crawford type player than an all around PG, but still a contributor.
