It’s interesting Begley said this after Detroit said they aren’t looking to trade Bey anymore. It’s likely not going to happen.

I believe the Pistons on Bey about as much as I believe the Bulls won't move Caruso. That's to say, I think they're willing to hang on to the player but are exaggerating their stance to draw out better offers. I think Kuzma might still get dealt too. It bugs me out that OG Anunoby is probably the shoe that needs to drop before we see a flurry of moves. Everyone seems to be gauging OG, but there are a ton of guys on the market in limbo.

OG and Poeltl seem like the most likely impact players dealt to me for now.

I actually kind of believe them. The market ask is too high so a freeze on trades until the market corrects itself wouldn’t surprise me. Them taking guys off the market is an attempt to get more assets in return.

Ainge basically broke the market based on what he got for Gorbert and Mitchell and the NBA is a copycat league so other GM’s are going to try and replicate what he did until they realize it won’t work.

I think they're trying to pump the market, but I also don't think it will work. My guess is that OG and Poeltl's trades will happen and hopefully reset the market to a somewhat more reasonable set of asks. I'm also wondering if a couple of cheap moves, like Josh Richardson getting moved for a second rounder, might cause other demands to calm down and come back to Earth.

Ainge really broke the market, but I think the last few days of this trade deadline will see some action. To be fair though, trade deadline movement feels like it's been trending down the last few years.

the lack of ball and man movement is vomit inducing.
Starting to think iq is the better option to start next to brunson cause we default into straight up isolationafter our first action fails.
read and react with one track minded players dont really work.
