    Please list the needle movers that "are available" so we can discuss them.

    Which teams should/would consider Wall at this point? I guess Phoenix makes a lot of sense like @steddinotayto said...but i can actually see a ton of teams interested in him, Cleveland, Detroit, Indiana, Miami, Knicks, Orlando, Dallas, Minnesota...maybe even Utah, Milwaukee and Denver.

    Probably less teams interested in Beal even though i think he's better all things considered.

    100%, And in all honesty that quote referenced a player drafted in a 2nd Round that produced higher than expected so using it to criticize a player drafted #3, overall, that has morphed into a consistent 3&D player is a stretch as no one "found" Porter. Quote used in the wrong context imo.

    Pelicans will have crazy length if they get Otto

    What further complicates moving Wall is the inclusion of a 15 percent trade kicker in his deal. Wall is a five-time All-Star who's been a favorite of ownership.

    I wonder how much this will be a factor...

    I could see Pat Riley trying to get in on Wall. And feeling like his "Miami Culture" could mold Wall in a better leader to mesh with his talent.

    Yea you're 100% right in that there should be more teams out there clamoring for Wall. I think the trouble is finding a deal that has both expiring contracts and young/cheap talent attached.

    Won't matter after we trade them Capela and Gordon for Anthony Davis and we trade Brevin (Brandon) Knight for a player who does everything Capela does PLUS shoot the 3 for a salary lower than Capela.

    Interest in Beal will be high. Minnesota wanted to swap Butler for him. I could see Golden State pursuing him, could see the Lakers pursuing him, Sacramento, New Orleans, the Clippers, etc.

    I'm of course 100% interested in Beal.

    Is Morey prepared to offer four 1sts and bad contracts for Beal?

    Except a Miami-Washington deal would be two majorly cash-strapped teams both looking to dump salary, right? Not a great fit from that perspective.

    I'm sure he'll make the same offer for Beal he made for Butler.

    Gordon/Nene/Chriss plus pick for Beal.

    Definitely, i just wonder if there'll be as many or more teams interested in him, i know it may sounds stupid since his contract is much better than Wall's, and fwiw, for me he's not even a worse player, but i just have a feeling they'll get way more calls/offers for Wall. I can see the interest for all the teams you listed, especially Clippers and Pelicans, not sure about the others (Wiggins, Klay, Lakers dreaming a big 3 with Durant and Davis, Hield), but we'll see, i can actually see Boston having interest in Beal too.

    John Wall’s contract is hideous...holy sh*t

    I’d need picks from Washington before I even think about taking that albatross on

    Nope, but that's not going to happen anyway for a ton of reason.
