The only way the Russell deal happens though is giving up our first round pick and given how big of a team downgrade we just made that's looking like potentially the number 1 overall pick.

Yeah I wouldnt be thrilled about it, but who knows. Im not that down on this deal. Covington was off this year and likely trending in the wrong direction as I see it. We got to stack a few young assets and save some money.

Maybe. But it's important to judge Beasley as a $7M or $10M (or even more?) player. Because he's a restricted free agent. Who cares about this season. It's already lost.

I like the deal we could potentially get Beasley on.

So what i dont understand is why we didnt just take the houston 1st if we are trying to deal for russell? Why deal it for juancho amd beasley if they want draft picks?

Roster looks like

Pg: McLaughlin (2-way), nowell

Guards: okogie, Beasley, Culver

Wings: Wiggins, Turner, crabbe, Martin (2-way), layman, Vanderbilt

Bigs: kat, gorgui, naz, hernangomez

Hopefully because they like those two players more than a late first

TRADE COMPLETE

Rockets receive: Robert Covington, Jordan Bell, second-rounder
Hawks receive: Clint Capela and Nene
Timberwolves receive: Evan Turner, Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez, Jarred Vanderbilt, first-rounder (via BRK)
Nuggets receive: Gerald Green, Keita Bates-Diop, Noah Vonleh, Shabazz Napier, Rockets first-rounder

I guess what i am saying is that it feels like a deal with gs is off or we are going to really get fleeced if we do a deal

I have no idea what that would be beyond my guesses above. Do you?

How much are you willing to pay for a guy who's playing worse than a replacement level player even on a very good team? A guy with only one season out of four that hasn't been below average?

Yeah our PG situation is tough. Maybe they want to see how a guard like Beasley plays off Wiggins. We're definitely gunning for the worst record in the league now.

I honestly think kbd will be better than beasley. I have no idea what the hell we are doing.

Typically a player almost universally regressing in year 4 on a good team is not a good sign right? I'm with Abe. Don't really see the value there at all.
