From the article:


Bradley Beal, Suns: Truthfully, this placement is out of respect for Beal's past achievements. He's not a star anymore, or at least he hasn't been in Phoenix. He's matching salary at this stage, which is complicated because of his no-trade clause. The Suns would love to trade him, especially for Butler, but that means finding a destination that is not only willing to take on two more years of supermax Beal money, but one that Beal is willing to accept as well. How many such teams even exist?

Much as I appreciate KBlaze as a general bastion of bball knowledge, sooner or later he gonna have to swallow the crow on that one. A supermax for Bradley Beal was just never justified. It was never anything but a terrible idea.

Even if hes gotta be dragged kickin and screamin to that acceptance, he'll be reminded of it til he gets there :lol

Yes. It was a terrible idea to max but what jumped the shark was the no trade clause. Like that was totally unnecessary. Does anyone think if push comes to shove the no trade clause prevents him from taking the super max? Totally insane. Wizards could have easily negotiated a super max without the No Trade Clause, which still would have been stupid, but they could have got it done and it being less of a negative than what has happened

Will that be enough? That's a lot of scapegoats.

I was thinking the exact same when I heard his NTC referenced in recent days. Theres players way better than Beal who dont have No Trades, why the hell did they give HIM one?? You gotta figure his agent has undisclosed pics of the Wiz GM going Buffalo Bill at home with the shades drawn or something.
