I’d like to see him land in SA or Houston, they should have the assets to do it too

Lakers can offer those 3 picks but not much else. Knecht and Max Christie not moving the needle

Unless some Rich Paul shenanigans happen, i don’t see how they win a bidding war in general
shyt. okc can fukk around and scoop up fox too

Heat can't trade Jimmy, even if he/they wanted to.

He's 35, can't stay healthy, isn't a top-tier player and is making $50m on an expiring (player option next season). You'd be hard pressed to find a team that's willing to give up enough assets to make that work. It'd be hustling backwards.
That's not the main problem. There's teams that would do it, but that second apron is going to make a trade difficult to pull off without taking long term money back in return. It's going to get even more difficult when these $70+ million dollar a season contracts kick in.

In a perfect world, there's a team out there that has the cap space to sign him outright in the offseason so it's essentially a win-win for all parties like what happened with PG last season, but that's just not going to be the case.

I mean, if you’re Phoenix and that gets you off Beal’s contract. Just maybe.

It doesn't make sense how terrible Thomas Bryant is defensively. I don't disrespect pros and say I could give any of them buckets but I'd make an exception for him.
