Yeah not a huge fan, but their bench could use what he does. Interesting to see the Hawks pivot now since they were supposed to want him back.

A poor Beasley replacement IMO.

More of a Schoeder/THJ replacement, he's more of an on-ball guy...

Opens up Atlanta to replace him with their big TPE in a SNT.

I would rather have him than Schroeder for Det.

Not happy about this at all and at that price he was one guy i really wanted to bring back. I was hoping for Kennard, NAW, Levert, and a good vet PG behind Trae.

Brutal. Losing Beasley and Schröder and adding LeVert is really bad. I hate it. We have a comptetent FO so I'll wait for the full offseason.

NAW still a chance for the Hawks

Not loving the Detroit off-season.
Losing Beasley & THJ*?
Replacing them with Ivey + LeVert?

Better players, but the fit isn't as good. That team is going to struggle with spacing.

LeVert is a decent nba rotation player, but the fit is questionable . Maybe Beasley is back at a discount since he’s under a cloud, but otherwise the team needs shooting

We still have THJ's bird rights. Wouldn't surprise me to see that he's returning.

Still- improved spacing was a major factor in our improvement this past year and we lost a lot of that.

Agreed.

Cade - Ivey - Auser - Tobias - Duren

Poor Cade man. I loved seeing him with floor spreaders.

Detroit can have any of Klay, Caleb Martin, or Jaden Hardy. All you have to do is ask. I'll even get you some pistachio baklava from that awesome spot in Dearborn if you do

I never liked LeVert when he was with the Pacers, seemed like he was hurt a lot, and when he played seemed to hog the ball and play "hero ball." He thought he was a star and he's a roll player.
