ESPN's Chris Broussard Trade Idea: Detroit Pistons trade Tayshaun Prince to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Michael Beasley

52

I'd do it just to get out of Tayshaun's contract, but with Derrick Williams on the roster, why would Minny do it? Beasley is due an $8.2M qualifying offer next season that the Pistons wouldn't have to tender. For contract relief only, I'd do it. Best case scenario- Beasley sees a shrink and/or joins a cult and then plays like a clear-headed athlete for once. With Dumars' suggestion that his intent is to keep Tayshaun around as a veteran presence, I doubt he would pull the trigger either. All the more reason for this team to have a fresh perspective in the GM chair...
