AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

Austin Reaves might be a star. At this point, I can't even be surprised at how good he is - he can score, pass, and shoot. He might be on that Steve Nash track to being an All-Star someday. Maybe not the MVP Suns Nash but the Mavs version.

Yeah, he is really good.  Plays winning ball too.   He is a free agent after the season.  What type of $ do you expect him to get?  Would that eat into the Lakers potential cap space?   I think he at least gets MLE salary.   If I was a bad team with cap space, I might prioritize him over an older player.   He probably stays in LAL, but his $ keeps going up.

Somebody already mentioned it, but with the way Wiseman has been playing, plus Duren, Bagley III and maybe even Wembanyama, Stewart must be very high on the trade list.

If Wiseman is legit, Stewart appears to be the odd man out.  Although, they would probably dump Bagley for nothing to at least open up minutes for Stewart, Duren and Wiseman.  It would be a tight fit though, but would give them more time to make a decision.

Detroit and that front office has to start winning though.   I think that is one of the reasons they kept Bogdonavich.    They were suppose to be better this year.   Not sure if they would have much interest in a future first round pick for Stewart.   They have some really interesting young talent, but they are at the point where they need to be more competitive next year.
