Wont get Beal their Gm said even if he doesn’t except extension they won’t trade
i think beal is really good tbh, and a much better player than porter. but upgrading the SG position isn't really the best way to go about improving the team...
derozan for porter and protected pick(s) and im good with that
Wont get Beal their Gm said even if he doesn’t except extension they won’t trade
Which means he'll be working the phones 5 minutes later. The longer you hold on to a player who is giving signs of leaving, the less you get. He's got two years left. If you try to talk him into staying and fail, you'll get about half the return next summer that you would get this summer.
only an idiot would trade Derrick White, DeRozan and 2 first rounders for Beal. DeRozan + 1 pick yeah, but no way in am I giving up any young prospects
Wizards aren’t trading Beal tbh. Close thread
I would love to pair White and Beal. Derozan plus a young prospect plus one pick would be a coup. Beal would be that good on the Spurs with a good playmaker.
They will...Eventually. It's only a question of when.
It would be wise to keep DDR for this upcoming season because White, DJM, LW4 and Poeltl are 1 to 2 seasons away from being a legitimate force. They all are still growing and learning and to have a more comfortable DDR who will most likely be better player for the Spurs this coming season because of familiarity alone not to mention he's probably going to add 3 to his game. The following and last season of his contract is a player option. If he opts out then peace out because our young guys will have that extra needed year under their belts and will be closer to ready to take that we are NBA experience ready. If he opts in for that 27mil for the last year of the contract then I believe barring serious injuries the Spurs could compete for the Chip that year if LMA hasn't fell completely off the cliff. Either of those scenarios would be better than trading DDR for Beal whom would stunt LW4 progression or Porter who fits a need as a true SF but he is not better than DDR even at that position and would leave the Spurs really scraping to even sniff the 8th seed.
Pretty much how I see it in the future
Interesting. Compensate the Lakers for losing Number 2 by awarding them an arguably better fit.
DW was terrific.
DW is our court general ascendant,
beal isnt a difference maker to offload the spurs youth...
The Wizards are going to trade Beal, but they aren't trading him for DeRozen and parts. They are going to want what Thunder got for Paul George. They are going to want a ton of draft picks and they are going to want a young player with star potential. They can't trade Wall, so when they realize they are stuck and can't improve any other way, they will trade Beal for a haul.
Thunder and Clippers deal was a one off historical moment. Clippers weren't trading for George. They were trading for him and Leonard.
beal 26 white 25?
Definitely. This movie is so old it’s in the public domain.
We've seen just about every star in the league move within the past few seasons and people in here are saying the failing Wizards would never trade Beal.![]()
Really though...Based on what? It's been proven time and time again that nobody is untouchable except for Patty Mills.
I guess if the Spurs got Beal he could replace DeRozan as the star that Spurstalkers complain about as sucking the most.
Truth.
Although, Patty & Marco are still around to get some residual hate too.
I like Beal a lot (top 5 SG), but not sure he is a good fit on a team that is already so guard/combo guard heavy.
The log jam would be similar to Boston last season - with so many guards/swing men on the roster - and everyone saw how that mess played out.
Their roster composition wasn't the issue. Their supposed leader had one foot out the door, already planning his exit in 2018.
Lol so you want to get an all star level player without giving away anything. Beal is 26 and DW is 25. Beal is entering his prime and DW will still take at least 2 season to fully develop. Spurs have a good/great track record when it comes to drafting but that will take years and if we want to win now when the league is kinda wide open then we need star players not prospects who will take years to develop. LA is probably going to request a trade if he sees he's no going to win anything with the Spurs and he also shown desire to go back to Portland. A core of Murray, Beal, Lonnie and then you add other role players is good to compete and they are still young to compete for 5-6 years if they stay intact.
True, but Steven's inability to keep everyone happy (role, minutes, shots, etc) also played a huge role.
And who is to say Beal wouldn't have "one foot out the door" in San Antonio?
Players who are JUST All Stars are often fools gold, and not worth giving up your best prospects for. There are a minimum of 24 ASs every year, sometimes 3-4 more if there are injuries. All NBA, otoh, is a much higher hurdle. There are 15 every year, no more no less. BB has never been All NBA, and probably won't. The closest comparison I can come up with is a poor man's Ray Allen. Two teams tried to build themselves around Ray. Didn't work out so well for Milwaukee or Seattle. Only when he took a back seat to PP and KG in Boston, and then LBJ, DW, and Bosh in Miami did he have success winning. Think of this type of player as a super duper role player on steroids.
Let me be clear: I don't want Beal. He makes too much money, and would cost too many assets to get. I was just commenting on the Boston roster comment.
