Re: making the impossible possible, what teams want beal?
[QUOTE=warriorfan;14967885]if beal was easy to trade this thread wouldn’t exist right now
lol[/QUOTE]
if he were, it wouldn’t have been eight days from his agent and the wizards acknowledging they would try until it was finalized.
It’s been known to take months for people with none of this nonsense talk.
I’m not even sure he’s being traded now. I don’t read up on The rumors as much as I did years ago.
I do see he was just the games leading scorer off the bench, coincidentally against Paul George. It’s been surprising how much Paul has skated so far this year. Maybe the assumption is he still hurt. But they’re paying his ass till he’s like 39.
I’m actually wondering what they could get for him near the trade deadline. They would look stupid at this point so it would never happen, but I’m just curious. Most of the people I can think makes sense to swap for him have much shorter deals.
Brandon Ingram and Zion have to be on the block soon. But it doesn’t make sense to trade them for anything but draft picks.
I feel like a lot of this won’t get straightened out till this summer when people start opting out.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14967903]Beal is doing 18 ppg on 48% and 39% 3P shooting, as 3rd option. What do they want from him? :D[/QUOTE]
So he's a decent 3rd option that's being paid 1st option, All-NBA 1st team money.
Also funny to see kblaze still defending the Beal trade despite the unanimous consensus everywhere that it was a bad trade :oldlol:

I wouldn't want him on a max deal but there's only so much you can get out of a guy when his primary role is scoring and he's only the third best perimeter scorer on his team, playing with one of three greatest if not the greatest scorer of all time. Not that he's averaging 30 on 50% somewhere else but don't forget that Ray Allen went from 26ppg to the teens when he went from Seattle to Boston.

Are the Suns really going to lose to the Hornets with their 'big 3' playing?
:facepalm

I knew Beal would be a bad fit but I didn't expect it to happen this fast.
The Suns can't really do a full rebuild because they don't own their own picks.

thats why you ship out kd and book for picks. you should be able to get a good haul for those 2. beal is nearly untradable so just hold on to him in the meantime. they're quite literally losing to lottery teams.

Even if you do that you won't control your own picks so tanking does no good. We have the rights to swap picks in the even years and the Nets have your picks in the odd years.

its not about tanking, it's about rebuilding. moving on from booker and kd is the only way forward. this guy isn't winning a title for this team. keeping him is just prolonging the inevitable.

While that may be true in order to start a full rebuild the owner and mgt have to admit that they blew it. I know from history that is unlikely to happen this quickly.

that's what i am afraid of, the rumors keep signaling they want butler so these guys have their heads buried in sand. the fact that they are a disaster of a team right now and are looking to double down to acquire butler, another older star player, tells you everything you need to know about the owner and gm.

i like the organization because of its history. steve nash turned me into a diehard basketball fan. booker is disrespecting all of that history with his nonchalant kendall jenner dating too cool for school non leadership no defense having iso ball one dimensional scorer attitude
Re: making the impossible possible, what teams want beal?
latest from the rumor mill is the heat want the suns 2031 1st rounder but suns are not budging on it. they've given away a sh1t ton of 1st rounders lol, but i think a couple more weeks will make them desperate enough to bite on jimmy and pat riley is smart enough to call their bluff.
Re: making the impossible possible, what teams want beal?
Trading for Beal forced them to blow up their team.
