Indiana is thrashing opponents in the minutes Turner plays without fellow frontcourt star Domantas Sabonis, and it is losing the minutes those two play together. Indy's big man leads the league in shot-blocking and should wind up among the top handful of candidates for Defensive Player of the Year if he keeps this up. This amounts to the Pacers dealing Turner at what might be the peak of his value-painful, but perhaps the shrewdest move. Indiana Pacers Get: Tyler Herro, Kelly Olynyk and a 2025 first-round pick (top-eight protected) Curry is playing at an MVP level despite every opponent's scouting report basically saying "let anyone but this guy shoot." Imagine what he could do with the freedom Beal's presence would provide. If anything, Washington might insist on Golden State building a package around Oubre's expiring deal and filler rather than taking on Wiggins' money.Įither way, the Warriors have the ability to make Washington a compelling offer.Īnd finally, since we're focusing on this particular deadline (and, by extension, this season), the jolt Beal could put into Golden State's offense would be massive. And if the Wolves keep their top-three-protected selection, it becomes unprotected and potentially even more valuable in 2022. This would give the Wizards a way forward, allowing them to rebuild around Wiseman and another potential superstar in a loaded 2021 draft. Well, would the Dubs putting Wiseman and that blue-chip pick on the table count as something changing? It sure seems like it. All indications are that he and the Wizards front office will wait until the offseason to sort out their future." Per The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor: "Unless something changes between now and the deadline, Bradley Beal won't be available. The Wizards' side of this is also complicated. That's a scary bunch that could compete with anyone. (re-signed in this hypothetical) and Draymond Green.
Imagine a 2021-22 closing group that includes Curry, Beal, Klay Thompson, Kelly Oubre Jr. But they would also get Bradley Freaking Beal, easily the best wing on the market and a player young enough (27) to give the team a boost now without foreclosing on some future glory years. The Warriors would remove the "have it both ways" option by giving up so much for Beal. The trick is, you kind of have to thread the needle a little bit and you have to pick your spots." "And the understanding from the very beginning has been, let's try to do both, why not? Let's try to be a playoff team, let's try to be as competitive as possible, and let's develop James because he's talented enough for us to do both. Head coach Steve Kerr was explaining his decision to remove Wiseman from the starting unit when he gave the following quote to the Athletic's Tim Kawakami, but it also applies to what seems like an organization-wide plan to stay as competitive as possible right now (so as not to waste Stephen Curry's prime) while still setting themselves up for the future: The Warriors don't seem likely to throw their top two trade assets-Wiseman and the Wolves' pick-into a win-now move. Washington Wizards Get: Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman and a 2021 first-round pick (top-three protected, via Minnesota Timberwolves)
Golden State Warriors Get: Bradley Beal and Jerome Robinson (to match salary)
