Beal is made a promise by Detroit to move him to a preferred location as soon as possible. Anyone know where that is other than Miami?

Beal is not waiving his NTC based on Detroit being able to find a deal they like to move Beal on. He has to be okay playing in Detroit or he's never agreeing to this.

I do really appreciate though that you understood you needed to provide reasoning for Beal too. Thank you very much!

I don't see Beal agreeing to it, but I don't hate this for Miami. Not sure Tobias is who we have starting with Bam, but I think he might have his uses, here.

Aren’t the Bucks interested in Beal? I get the idea of this, but I can’t see Detroit taking on that contract and Beal waiving his NTC to become a Piston. Not to mention he consistently misses a lot of games and makes a ridiculous amount of money with his production.

I personally don’t see why the Bucks would want Beal, but who knows

For DET

Is gettign a single FRP worth being in cap hell for the last couple of seasons of Beal's contract? No

Nope. Definitely not worth a late first to do this.

Eating Beals contract would likely cost PHX all three of those picks. Throwing in Harris, and THJ for just one 1st would be dereliction of duty by Langdon.

As for the reroute, how does that happen? Once Beal waives his no-trade clause is it permanent? Or does he have to do it again subsequent to another trade?

Especially when the pick will be #29 or later.

How do we get the Bucks involved? Players from Milwaukee to Detroit, but Bucks can’t aggregate.

I don’t think Detroit should do this but, the Bucks send Middleton out to get Beal and Lopez to Detroit with Hardaway Jr going to Miami as part of the bigger deal

Saves the correct amount of money
