    This was a good trade for both Miami and LA. This helps Lenard as well he will not have to play the 4. Like you said Collins is the type of player Harden loves. They needed size and athleticism and they got it. Beal would be a great pick up to replace 80% of what Norm gave them. Clears the books in a few years for LA not having to pay a 32 year old Powell with leg issues.

    I think beal is actually better than powell. Last year was the only season ever where powell looked like the better player but that was with beal in a horrible situation for his skillset

    I get why LAC and MIA make this trade but I just can't figure out what Utah gets out of this at all.

    Expirings? It is a tad early though.

    Keep one of Kyle or Love to have a vet for cheap.

    They have to get rid of Markkanen as well to trigger the Total Rebuild.
