The Wizards arguably got negative value for Beal. It's a desperate all-in trade by the Suns, but the funny thing is that if Beal recovers, they might be able to trick a team like Miami in offering actual first-round picks rather than swaps. Still, with so much leveraged, those later picks by Brooklyn and those later swaps by Washington look juicy.
Will still be majorly rooting against the Suns.
I’m not a NBA salary cap expert…can someone explain how Phoenix is able to pay all 4 of KD/Beal/Booker/Ayton? Isn’t that like $180MM tied up across just those 4?
As for the trade from a basketball fit, not really sure Phoenix needed a guy like Beal. Their depth is probably even worse now.
NBA’s weird lol I know Beal is owed a and had a no trade clause so he dictated where he’d go but that’s a horrible deal for Beal imo you telling me no other team could have done better or convinced Beal to join them
Lakers, Suns and Rockets will always top my hate list.
Btw, as I wrote in that other topic, Beal's agent is Suns' CEO father, so there's also some nepotism going on.
Stern would've CP3'd this trade so hard.
Washington just needs to get off the salary. Beal is fine as an asset. No ing clue what Phoenix is doing.
Someone will buy into the idea of trading for Ayton. Watch it be the pacers for #7 lol
Begets the question did WA really try to shop him and was this the best offer they could get?
I get it, Beals salary sucks. But its the going rate for NBA high chuck scorers.
Perhaps they have a taker for Ayton in a follow on trade.
Some reports were saying that Miami was offering Lowry+Robinson and two picks, which is way better.
Beal had a NTC, but I don't think he would've rejected Miami without his agent stepping in.
I think Dame eventually goes to Miami.
Wizards didn't get much for Beal, but getting out of that contract is a win by itself.
Wow, how can you hate the Lakers but not the Golden State gots.
Never thought anything would match the insufferableness of rigged Kobme Laker era games and rosters but low and behold, the Warriors have at least equaled the insufferableness imo.
Never liked them, but at least they kept destroying Lebron.
Them and Dallas are fourth and fifth on my hate list. This Miami kind of grew on me.
Washington was apparently desperate to get a deal done before Portland did, overcrowding the market with veteran SGs
I meant to say Beal is 'done' as an asset.
Could be right.
What a kick in the nuts for wizards fans. They get basically nothing in return for their franchise player, signaling a bitter end to an already ty era of basketball for them. Yikes.
This ain't doing for Pheonix. I like it tho.
Meh i don't know about that.
I'm going with LeBowens post 100.
Hopefully the lakers so he can make them the oldest team in the league and we can watch them all breaks down together in the playoffs.
They'll flip Ayton for some semblance of depth and draft capital.
More importantly, this is why you never give a player a NTC. Like ever
Y'all still don't understand that Beal was able to decide what he gets traded for. Washington has no say in this
The Suns are gonna need to play with 3 basketballs to keep everybody happy.
A contender would not depend on Chris Paul to be healthy come playoff time
Good luck with that suns
Chris Haynes reporting that the Clippers are looking to trade for CP3. Just what the team whose 2 franchise players literally cannot stay healthy for a single playoff run needs
