They should go hard after Beal. He'd be the perfect fit next to LeBron and I think he's more available than Washington is letting on. They're super limited with John Wall's supermax kicking in this upcoming season so I think if they can do a soft reboot with some young pieces, they'd go for it.

What makes them think he'll be available?  Toronto is not going to trade Lowry unless they completely implode in this ECF.

I've said this numerous times. Bradley Beal is LAL's best bet at going after another All-Star.

WAS should be willing to take on Hart, Kuzma, or even Ingram for rebuilding purposes.

Ball+Ingram+Hart would be a nice welcoming addition to the !@#$-storm that is WAS.

If leonard leaves toronto will rebuild.

Traded Kyle for youth amd assets makes sense

And unless I am mistaken Lowry's contract is 1 year left preserving max capspace to try amd get davis again.

I don't think Ingram is tradable until his health concerns are resolved.

Not for value that matches his talent/production.

Sucks, hopefully this truly is a one time issue.

I'm guessing this report is conditioned that Kawhi ends up leaving thus making Lowry on the block.

If Kawhi leaves, I think Lowry's gone too and it's a rebuild in TOR. Kawhi alone is practically carrying that franchise right now. Yes, Lowry had a fantastic Game 1 two days ago, but other than that he really hasn't shown up the first two rounds. If he's the alpha of the team after this season then that's a mediocre team.

I'm curious to see if that holds true if they have another losing or less than impressive season. It wasn't that long ago that Davis said he wanted to stay in NOLA.

If you're LA, would you offer the #4 pick + Ball + Hart for Beal? If you're Washington, do you demand Ingram even though his health is a question mark?

Yeah I wouldn't be a buyer in the Lowry market at this point.

Lowry expires after next year. He's likely to be targeted because he'd preserve the salary space to target AD in the 2020 off season.

So that assumes again that Davis really wanted to be a laker.  If he really wants to be a laker, why are we trading our best assets for him and a 1 year rental?
