I get the frustration with the FO not making moves but I don't think it's for lack of trying. No one was taking Beal and that was seemingly the sticking point in all negotiations. It's not like we turned down offers. Ishbia isn't ready to give up on the KD experiment and even in talks we were supposedly asking (rightfully) for a lot of assets back. Nurk is getting moved at some point today so we'll see what happens there.
I guess we found out the hard way how much Beal's NTC was a show stopper.
Can he only waive it for a particular trade, or can he waive it permanently if he wants to go to a team that won’t accept his NTC?
Good question. However, it's moot if he wants to stay in Phoenix which it appears he does. Why not? They can all laugh it up on the bench, win or lose. No pressure.
We need someone like the guy I’ve wanted to be our coach since the D’Antoni days lol, Tom Thibodeau. Then the players who like no pressure would at least be willing to be traded lol.

Can you imagine if don't even move Nurk? Please tell me we end up with a power forward at the very least.

Oh yeah, what happened to Gambo saying we were trying to get a power forward?

On this team, Cody Martin is a power forward. Except when we’re using him at center.

It's looking like the favorite, Nurk dump, is probably going to be the move. But to who and for what?
Well charlotte needs a centre now
I picked the destination but really would have hoped (expected?) a return that made more sense roster wise.

Kind of wish they would have tried to fight that ntc in court since he already waved it for one trade. Curious if they even thought about it.
