Something to consider if we do end up as the third team in the Butler trade. The Pistons absolutely can not take on salary if they want to sign Beasley.
If they use THJ in a trade to match salary, anything coming back has to be an expiring contract just like THJ. The Pistons are counting on the $16M THJ provides in cap space to sign Beasley. If they bring back a guy who is not expiring, it eats up that cap space and signing Beasley gets a lot harder.
