Surprised the Nuggets have bought into the two underneath men boxing up the lane while Russ gets rebounds on missed free throws. Thought that foolishness was just for teams that were not playing for anything like OKC and the Wizards, not a contender like the Nuggets.

If I had to guess what the final trade looks like:

Jimmy to the Suns...Get their guy but trade away the three picks they just acquired from the Jazz.
Tobias, THJr and a pick to the Heat...Tobias and THJr are stop-gaps and they get a pick out of it.
Beal and two picks to the Pistons...Pistons need another creator with Ivey out, have cap space to absorb Beal's contract and get two picks for eating Beal's contract.

why would beal waive his no trade clause to go to detroit?

and whoever gets beal is going to be stuck with 3yrs and ~$160m with the no-trade clause still attached

Selling Beal to Detroit might be a tough sell, but Detroit is still young and could eat that contract while their guys are on rookie contracts.

There's also some office-agent relationships between the Pistons and Suns.

Russ is playing well and they’re winning.
Nuggets very likely will be up to second in the West before the all-star break. So what you’ve mentioned in your post seems completely unproblematic to me.

dont see the upside on beals side, thats pretty much giving up on winning a title chances

yeah detroit is young but thats committing to being super bad for the next 3 years is just not a good move and theyre starting to win big games now too and possibly make it to the post by avoiding the play-in and then keep improving from there, makes no sense to stifle the team for the next 3 years by taking in beal and his terrible contract

and why even mess with cades development

but hey, i could be all wrong by the time i wake up tomorrow so who knows

Sarr a monster rim protector already, damn.

After being played sparingly the first 2 months of the season, Ware has really been making the most out of his extended run of playing time lately

First time he's starting together with Bam and he looks real good early

Bam/Ware is at least a reason to watch the second half of the seaon

Suns, Wolves, Rockets, Warriors, Pels, idk… Somebody needs to come get Jimmy
