Eh,. max salaries mean the best players aren't paid like a stack-rank would be. 25th highest salary (Jrue Holoday) is 33m and Beal is at 43 (at 4th). If you're looking to add a player like Beal you probably don't care.

That said, amongst the super-max tier guys Beal is probably the one you'd want the least. Well. Probably Kyrie is the one you want the least but.

Plus after the next two off seasons his salary ranking won't be as high as guys like Brown and Tatum get their maxes.

Also trading for him wouldn't be hard.

Like it feels like the Bulls would be a useful team in any Beal trade, because they have 20 million of a player who can be waived with a career ending injury exception.

Finding ways to make the money work isn't that hard, if the Knicks/Grizzles for some reason really wanted him.

The bulls are not going to do anything, they'll gun for the 9 seed for 1-2 more seasons then fruitlessly tank for 5 years in one of the two years they have a draft pick. Also Karnisovas and Eversley can't draft for poo poo, Terry is a bust and Williams will have the Bulls drafted player trajectory of looking incredible the second he is on another team.

I mean gunning for the 10-7 seed would be what facilitating this trade is doing. They'd get like Brandon Clark or Kennard as salary and go on being mediocre.

It looks like Fournier, Barrett, and Toppin get the salaries to match. The Knicks also have 4 firsts next year, including the Wizards own pick, and some other young talent. I don’t think the Knicks would need to give up all 4, just to be clear.

Thats the framework I had in mind for NY if they wanted Beal. I have no idea what Beal's value is though considering how disastrous being above the 2nd apron is according to some. He has a 57m player option in 2026-27. Would you even need to throw in picks? Probably, right?

Beal would be a good pickup for Miami assuming Beal can stay healthy, which is admittedly a hell of an assumption.

If Spo can have a decent defense with Duncan Robinson or Tyler Herro out there, Beal should be fine. Having someone with some self creation, and creation for others out there other than Jimmy would be pretty good.

I guess it depends on what the Heat have to give up.

I dunno, I could see this being a situation where the Wizards recognize they’re on an aimless trajectory and respect Beal enough (slash recognize the burden posed by his salary and no-trade clause) to let him basically pick his destination even if it means getting back a pretty modest return

I'm not sure the Heat have enough to offer the Wizards to entice them unless they're devoted to blowing it up.

It'd have to be something like Lowry, Duncan Robinson, and some combination of their available firsts (2023., 2027, ...2029?).

By 26-27 that salary won’t be as bad with the new media deal.

This might sound like Marx talking about linen, but let’s peg Beal’s value at 4 firsts and the rough equivalent for each player.

Barrett = 1 first
Toppin = 1 first
Fournier = - 1 first
Wizards 2024 = 1 first (you could argue 2)
Another 2024 = 1 first
A 2026 first (thought to be a strong draft) = 1 first

I think that is roughly good value. However, Beal has a no trade clause, so the Wizards can’t exactly start a bidding war.

I'm assuming any Heat trade this offseason, barring like Lilliard becoming available and gettable for Miami(?), will be around Lowry rather than Herro. I could be wrong about that.

The Bulls are in a weird place. Like they are probably roughly going to be a play-in team, which is seemingly what ownership wants.

I'm mostly just mad they aren't fun to watch.

Like When Lonzo was playing even though I don't think their ceiling was a championship, that team was fun to watch.

The only path for stepping up a tier, is Patrick Williams to finally realize he should be more aggressive, and to be giving the keys to run more of the offense through him.

His contract runs out after next year, iirc, so the same reason most teams would want an expiring.

Edit: Although a buyout would work too. It's mostly because I think they'll have to match salaries?

Gobert was traded for more than that. If you broke it down the same way it would be like 6 firsts. They got…

Kessler (1 first)
4 firsts
1 pick swap
Vanderbilt (1 first?)

Patrick Beasley, Malik Beasley, and Bolmaro. That’s probably a wash.

[Stein]There is no disputing New Orleans’ strong interest in Henderson. The Pelicans want more of a traditional playmaker than they’ve had and are undeniably drawn to the explosive Henderson. I heard this week from one well-placed observer who is convinced that the Pelicans would indeed consider dealing Williamson away if it meant they could draft Henderson, pointing to a rising level of exasperation within the organization regarding Williamson's ongoing availability issues and overall approach. My read, at this juncture, is that the Pelicans are less inclined to consider trading Brandon Ingram in the same scenario.
