#1 - Yes, he is.
#2 - No, they won't.
Per realgm , is he really that good?
#1 - Yes, he is.

No way I'm giving Parker up for Beal unless the team is being blown up. And if that's the case, I want MKG.
Here's the source of the rumor:
Still, Presti has seriously considered finding a way to get to Beal. A number of sources said that Presti spent three days in Gainesville during the lockout watching the Gators practice, a fact that Beal confirmed Wednesday.
A source also said that Florida coach Billy Donovan met with Presti in Dallas when he took his two nephews to the Oklahoma City-Dallas first-round playoff series in May. Presti and Donovan have had multiple conversations on the phone about Beal, as well.
A source with direct knowledge of the situation said, "Oklahoma City exhausted every opportunity on campus to find out everything they could find out about Beal. They've done everything they can."
San Antonio, which doesn't pick until No. 59 in the second round, as well as Atlanta, which does have a first-round pick at No. 23, also made a number of calls to Donovan and Florida in the hope that each team could move up to land Beal.
But the source said the teams told Donovan it would have to be the "parting of the red sea," to pull off a move to get up to the top of three in the draft.
"They gave (Donovan) the impression that they were trying to move up to get Brad," said the source.
When reached Wednesday, Donovan did say that teams wanted to know why Beal was passive early in the season.
"Brad was very concerned about what other guys think of him on the team but in a good way," said Donovan. "He's never going to try to come in and take over."

First interesting thing with a Spurs mention and likely no chance of happening.
^ good looking out, I'm on my phone so I couldn't post link
This, basically. Unless Duncan is retiring, I wouldn't blow up the team to get Beal. I think he'll be good but I'm not nearly sold enough to give up Parker for him unless there is a total rebuild. Even then, I probably hold out for more than just Beal.
He's been super impressive so far in workouts. He will be another Eric Gordon and Gordon hasn't hit full potential yet.
spurs think ginobili done
ginobili always injured
trade him for young player
His floor on draft night is #3.
Ginobili has roughly a 5% chance of staying healthy all 82 games next season. prob miss at least 30-40 games.
Well played.
I will say that Beal is the most legit high school shooter I've seen since JR Smith. But yeah, only get that guy if we're starting over. If TD retires then it.
More seriously, Spurs don't really have a shot at him. However, if Thunder trade Harden for him, it would be a damn good news for Spurs.
DX has worst case for Beal = Gary Neal
we already got that
Times like these I wish I watched college basketball or knew anything about the players.
Beyond Anthony David and MKG (thanks to Baseline for hyping him since January) I don't know any of these players.
Surely Beal cannot be worth Tony Parker though..
Beal has been compared to Ray Allen, in terms of his ability to shoot the basketball.
Excuse my ignorance, but MKG = ?
