Chicago is definitely stupid enough to do this. Beal will waive his NTC to go there because of how close he is with Donovan. It will be a free-for-all for him, jacking up all the shots he wants.

Chicago is actually possible. They can do Williams, Huerter and Collins. That makes at least some sense for both teams. None of those Chicago players have positive value but Huerter and Collins are expiring and taking on Beal's extra year is basically the cost of dumping Williams' contract. They can negotiate draft capital and that kind of stuff but the general framework kind of works.

Imagine Chicago finally getting off LaVine and then trading for Beal at $11m more....

Not that it's an amazing idea to go after another high priced injury prone player, but RJ for Porzingis would sae Boston 3 mill in salary, and we'd get an overqualified backup stretch 4/5. He could be this season's Serge.

i don't believe boston is looking to add salary past this season so rj would be a non-starter for trade talks.
they are probably trying to get a cap space team like detroit or nets to eat a bunch of that salary and only have to send back a much lower contract in return.

To get off of long term money, and because of you can get minutes out of him, he’s a very valuable player

As thought experience:
If you could make a package Poetl etc. for Sabonis would most people do this?
I am still on the fence of whether a guy like Sabonis even makes us better or if Poeltl's better defense = better overall impact?
or if this is overvalued (too far) and Sabonis is too much of an upgrade not to make that type of trade?
As good and underrated as Poeltl is we can't forget he has ALOT of debilitating negatives - zero shooting, cant shoot free throws, zero overall spacing, basically cant play at end of games, not really built for playoff crunch time, capped at 25-28mpg and will want close to 30mil on an extension
Would you rather invest 30 mil in a player who isn't so limited?
We have to look at things on the margin like this in the way we are building (no more high lottery picks) , it likely has to be an Indy model of depth and contribution across the board in versatile facets.
In a scenario where we do take Coward and he's the RJ replacement now or near future, what would be the big fish move that makes sense?
PG- Quickley
SG- Coward
SF- Ingram
PF- Barnes
C- Poeltl
who would you inquire about? big fish wise because thats a nice looking foundation to start with + depth (Dick, Walter etc.) + all our picks
A part of me thinks, instead of a star trading, go for a guy who could breakout and needs more opportunity instead like a Jarace Walker?
