It depends what you mean by high probability. I'd put it around 50/50.

What are the Wolves going to do at the deadline? Hear a lot of talk on MANY teams calling on Beasley.
Chad Ford (1:38 PM)
I love that story ... "Beasley is a VERY hot topic ..." and "many" teams are interested ... and it's from a Minnesota source. What do you think they're going to say? No one wants the guy. Clearly they want to move him and clearly they're trying to create a market for him. Whether any of this is actually real? I haven't found a team dying to get their hands on Beasley. I think some would take him for the right price ... but teams are lined up to give away assets for him.
Makes sense to me...

10 is a long way from 15. Golden State just went into tank mode and is currently sitting in the 10 spot.
Besides, look at Utah's roster. It's clearly a team that is on the way to rebuilding and hasn't quite bottomed out yet. Jefferson, Harris, and Milsap all expire next year. It's hard for me to imagine them making a playoff push.

It's top 14 this year, top 12 next year. Right now they pick 13th are two games out of the playoffs. I disagree with you about their direction, they have younger veterans backed up by young high lottery picks. They could easily make the playoffs this year or next year.

Magic fan here, his game so far on our squad is nothing like it was. He started the year extremely cold, and when he isn't shooting well he isn't doing much else. Lately he has come on for us though, I think his biggest problem is he needs a great passer to give him open looks but since the Magic don't have one he just sucks on our team most nights. Give him a healthy Rubio and I think he would be a great pickup for you guys.Scottypax wrote:My initial reaction is no! He's 31 years old on the decline with a moderately bad contract.
I don't care about Beasley. For the magic, he would be a nice expiring contract. Cap space for next season.
Really, I just have mixed feelings about this potential trade. He does shoot a high 3 point percentage. Averages 12 points and 3 rebounds. I only remember him from his Golden State-Phoenix days.
