Expect: Kuz & KCP to stay. Kuz has flashed and KCP is Beal's guy so I expect these two are nearly untouchable.
Expect: Shepp to try to move Deni & Montrezl for Grant, that's no secret. Detroit squeezing for more before deadline and will likely get it. Grant really wants it too and sees a chance to be a #2 option for his hometown team while making a playoff run.
Expect: Either Holiday or Bertans (maybe both) to be moved. Bertans possibly for another anchor deal but either on a shorter contract by a year or for a position of need.
Would not be surprised: If Shepp makes the move the get that protected pick back from the Russ deal (or adjust protections) only to free up the ability to trade that pick and additional pick(s) as part of larger deal to bring in a quality player or two.
Yes. This is likely to happen, given that Beal ain't going nowhere. Full disclosure: I'd trade him for a reasonable package but Tommy (and Terd) won't.
I think it's obvious from reading the tea leaves that Tommy is going hard for Grant. In that case, I hope Tommy is trying his best in negotiating a "discount" with Beal, given that Grant is likely to ask for a lot in his upcoming extension.

Only thing that give me solace is that Tommy is a PR guy. But boy, Beal loves talking about how this is his team, I wish he'd act like that as leader. I hope Beal has many of us eating crow one day I just don't think its even within the realm of possibility.
