I got one too for this one. I want to know if you came up with the same thing.

It doesn't have to be the Bucs for Beal.

It doesn't have to be the Bucs for Beal.

Here's what I got for the Jimmy Butler five-way deal. I got Sons get Butler. Oh, let's hear it. Five-way. Five-way. Sons get Butler. Heat get Chris Middleton and Pat Connaughton. Okay. Bulls get Bradley Beal. Bucks get Zach Levine. And then the Pistons take Bobby Portis into their cap space. And then you...

distribute some picks to the teams that should get them like the Bulls for taking Beal instead of Levine. But that would be the players that work salary-wise. And so you've got Beal, maybe he'd waive his no-trade clause, get reunited with his college coach, Billy Donovan, restore his career there. Who knows what his logic would be going there. But I don't think there's many teams that

Beal would waive his no trade clause for. And I thought it was very, very interesting that Mark Bartelstein, his agent, came out again publicly tonight. It's the second time he's spoken publicly about Beal. And he listed a bunch of teams, the Lakers, the Bucs, the Heat, all these teams he's not waiving his no trade clause for. The Bulls weren't mentioned.

So that might be because the Bulls aren't a team that a lot of people are talking about publicly in this whole scenario. But you do have the other stuff reported earlier on Thursday about the Bucs looking at Zach Levine. I don't think the Bucs would want Beal either. He's not necessarily an upgrade over this diminished version of Chris Middleton, but Zach Levine damn well is an upgrade.

over what you have in Middleton right now. So maybe Beal to the Bulls is something that could make sense there, which is why I came up with those five teams. And the Pistons is the fifth team. You could put other teams there, but they're the one with cap space, so it's just easy.

If I'm the Suns, I'd probably rather get Zach Levine than Jimmy Butler. I think you're right. I mean, like Jimmy Butler, obviously, he's proven it in the playoffs. He was younger at that time. Zach Levine also has not been in those situations. But if you remove last year when he was out for the season with a foot injury, he's been awesome since 2020. He's been awesome.
