He's already 28 and will be 29 by the start of next season. He's injury prone. He's an inefficient shooter. He needs the ball in his hands. Not a great defender. Will be a FA this summer looking for a new contract. CAA client. I just don't see how he has a future here. Honestly sounds like someone the Knicks would overpay tbh.
6'6 wing who can self-create and isnt a terrible defender. I'll take it.
That would be nice but it's not reality. He's not really a creator either. He takes the wildest shots, some worse than THT.
So? Pacers watched him for 39 games. Caris Levert is not a bad player and he has potential to develop further. He has averaged 14-4-4 for his career. Yall are just being silly saying full-stop you wouldnt want him.
Yall aren't looking deep enough... DA wants to tank so needs to trade some good players for bad. He also doesn't want to tip off Silver to what he is doing. So you trade Beasley and Gay for Levert and Windler. Levert looks like a good player... you can rationalize the trade, but then he is also good enough to highjack the offense with inefficiency and may need to manage some injuries. Can't just trade for Russ and cut him... DA has to operate in stealth mode.
Losing Beasley for him is worse than losing THT, even if we get a little cap space. I see what you are saying, but I think Beasley has more value than that to both the Jazz and the rest of the league.
Dump Gay... get some seconds. I am not sure Beasley has first round pick value without assuming a bad contract. I think some NBA pundits thought so... but look at the trouble Detroit is having finding a first for Bogey (and Bogey is a much better player).
Interesting... I'm not giving a first for that though. I'd also want to see how the draft plays out as we might end up in the same situation if we drafted a pg.
