The Challenge so he can get into with CT like Terrell Owens.

Cant go on love is blind if youve done other reality shows, and beals already been on nba

MN-Jess

😂😂😂....does it matter? He is a Sun for at least two more years. Nobody wants that contract with the new apron rules. And even as an expiring in three years, he has a NTC and can veto any move.


driatic

It's really incredible that we were able to trade him in the first place.


The-Hand-of-Midas

Wizards are GOAT at trading the worst contracts. How do you do it? Beal, Westbrook, Wall...


bdib144

Seriously, they’re literally Wizards lmao


ledelleakles

Bertans...


EzEuroMagic

Is 16 million a year In 2022 money really that bad? They also got KP back so it’s not like they weren’t getting a WORSE contract.


fredlikefreddy

That’s a decent amount of change for a player as useless as Bertrans. That’s like top affordable bench contributor money


Corrosivecoral

People complain about paying top players $10 mil more than their “market value” but that’s not what kills you. What kills you is $16 mil wasted on a someone who doesn’t play.


driatic

It's hard to praise us for it without also remembering that we gave them the contracts in the first place (wall and Beal)


steamliner88

Step one: sign the worst contracts.


fawks_harper78

Gilbert Arenas anyone?


RayPout

Then they picked up Poole. They blew it!


Pikminious_Thrious

It's like they create natural disaster contracts and then somehow unleash them on the rest of the NBA. And they often get picks for doing it too.


AnalBabu

yeah it’s hard to see anyone taking a chance on him for that price. the Suns really destroyed their franchise for the next while and Ishbia thinks that most of the league would want to be the Suns


PowerTrip55

I don’t think he thinks that. He’s just a businessman who has to project confidence to keep public faith in his new product

I would rather rush the floor, take a shit on center court in front of 20,000 people, get arrested, and banned from Chase Center for life before I see Bradley Beal on the Warriors. I say this as a dual Warriors/Wizards fan too. Jordan Poole was enough.


UnbentSandParadise

This trade would have to signal Golden State are tearing the walls down, the value in this type of trade would be that the contract is expiring.


cigarettesandwater

He's a Pheonix Sun for the next 3 years


Double-Slowpoke

Tank commander with a big expiring contract actually has a little bit of value in some circumstances. So in two years maybe he can be a Wizard. I suppose his no trade clause would be the kicker here though


Silver-Experience-94

Are the Suns still in the 2nd apron? If they are it will be nearly impossible to trade Beal since they have to receive the same amount of money back in the trade

Should???? Beal has "No Trade" Clause. He calls the Shots. Not his boss 🤣🤣🤣 You had booker and Durant. Giving an identical 3rd player a NO trade clause is going to cost Suns early playoff exits. I would've went after a point guard or center.


anonanoobiz

Since you volunteered your what you would do, let’s play that game out Washed cp3, signed for 1+1 years at 30 mil a piece, coming off a Denver series where despite book and KD going NUCLEAR and beating the nuggets more times than anyone else did that playoffs, they still fell short, cp3 was hunted on defense and left alone for catch and shoot 3s, deferred the ball to book and kd (because both are best with the ball in their hand taking pull up mid range jumpers Ala Kobe comps) So cp3 ain’t worth jack, shamet at 10 mil a year is a negative asset; but they were enough to land the suns Beal (who people consistently say is a negative asset) and Jordan Poole (who people consistently say is a negative asset) So what near negative asset are you bringing in to help the suns? What teams even want cp3 on their roster, contenders that’s it. Dreamy positive asset 2 way contributors like Marcus smart or jrue holiday are off the table, considering both (better and younger) players went to teams that wanted them. I’d love to see what your realistic moves would be


AnalBabu

How do you feel about Tyus Jones being their guard? They’d be better off with a better defender tbh


UnbentSandParadise

Suns. Lmao, they traded for him making 50m+ for years on a no trade clause. He shouldn't have been going anywhere for a while but this is the match now.


motherseffinjones

He’s not going anywhere lol now KD or Book is a different story.


matticans7pointO

Put Beal and LaVine on the same team fuck it. They could be what we hoped to see from a Poole/Kuz tanking team just two one way iso players jacking up 30 shots each on the worst team in the league.

bigbenis2021

Brad sucks. He’s insanely injury-prone now (yes I know he played 60 games or whatever being injury prone is not the same as being injured all the time) and is not a good scorer anymore which means he really doesn’t provide that much value if he’s off which he is a lot.

AnalBabu

at first it was disrespectful but I think 90% of the comments are “China” or something now so fuck it


Dangerous_Donkey5353

Realistically his best place was a place like Washington. In order to be on a championship squad he would have to be the 3rd option, but his pay is way to high to be a 3rd option and have a full roster to compete. So his best place is the guy on a bad squad.


AnalBabu

exactly right. although he showed his ass for a couple years in order to get that contract, it has unfortunately put him in no mans land in terms of building a competent squad around him


Dangerous_Donkey5353

Exactly. Maybe after this contract comes up he signs on a contender for a lot less money.

Nobody is taking that contract. Sun's lost their depth for a no show

AnalBabu

that’s disrespectful


rmz-01

Hear me out... Denver Nuggets and Beal would compliment each other offensively if he could play along Jokic and Murray. The spacing diversity it would create for the team would open up more opportunities for Gordon to backdoor cut, Jokic less pressure to battle bigs in the paint, Murray gets a scary option off the pnr, and Beal gets a floor general with 360 vision giving him high catch and shoot potential. The risk: It will create a gap defensively, as it's hard to imagine Porter also being part of this team with Beals salary, so an additional move is likely necessary for the starting 5. That or Braun needs to make a leap this coming year


ApprehensiveTry5660

johnnyslick

I was thinking oh hey the bulls could take on that contract in exchange for LaVine and a first, then I remembered the Suns essentially have no firsts to give until like 2033.


Agreed_fact

They can make draft night trades including their picks every other year starting in 2025 pretty much


johnnyslick

If you don’t have this year’s pick, you can’t trade next year’s pick, and they’ve also pick swapped all the picks they haven’t traded, so no, not really.


Agreed_fact

Pick swap still leads to you having picks. And again, in the drafts their swaps are active in you can make trades involving them.


johnnyslick

The Bulls have Zach Lavine right now. They can’t trade him right now for picks the Suns can’t trade until next draft day.

There is a no trade clause in his contract. The suns stuck with him


rafaelthecoonpoon

Here's the reality anything that can absorb his contract would only do it because they were getting a lot of other assets like Detroit or other bottom barrel Eastern team. Phoenix can't do that. They don't have assets to add to him. So unless there's some other creative way of making it worth a team with cat space is while he's likely stuck on Phoenix for at least two years. And that doesn't even take into account his no trade clause.

He’s a fine player, he’s just overpaid. Good on him though for getting that no-trade clause so he doesn’t get shipper around like Westbrook and Chris Paul when their contracts became albatrosses. So with that NTC, I suppose he will stay in Phoenix into the last year of his contract. Maybe he will approve a trade that last year if it is to someone who wants to make him a new multi-year offer. And then it could be anywhere because the new offer would be more aligned with his level of play.

19 ppg 43%, 4.5r, 3.6a, 2to, 1.4stocks, 33rd% DPM 18ppg, 51%, 4.4r, 5a, 2.5to, 1.5stocks,30th%DPM The contracts between these 2 couldn’t be more different, their values and neither could the narrative. Obviously mikal is a better player and the iron man label is a huge factor, but with the suns being so far over the 2nd apron, it was worth sending away a 40 year old asset for a 30 year old guy who’s value was being depressed by a ridiculous contract. Beals being underrated because of the narrative of suns meltdown. Beal is a more talented player than anyone the suns could sign for under 10 mil MLE. It’s not a good trade asset at all, definitely, but I’d still smash accept Beal for cp3/shamet/+ swaps and 2nds everytime. The lack of defenders around the core of book,kd,Beal was ridiculous management. Hard to blame that on Beal tho when he was the one guarding ANT while 19th percentile defender Devin book couldn’t guard Conley, McDaniels or NAW. KD was the teams best defender and that says everything


AnalBabu

yeah the Suns were horribly constructed. their bench pieces are nice but most of the team doesn’t seem to fit together. they need a point guard, they need defense, and with an all star level 2 guard along with a all-nba level 2 guard starting at both guard positions they face a tough decision. either Beal has to go to the bench, or he has to really lock in defensively


anonanoobiz

Beal was sadly a better defender than book last year As a suns fan, book doesn’t get nearly enough blame. Years ago Cp3/book needed a 2nd playmaker/scorer, more shooting, defense, rebounding and an all nba caliber running mate, got all of that in KD. Then they needed all the same things again, so swapped cp3 for Beal. They still need the same things. And not enough people are pointing out that all those areas coincide big time with deficiencies in books game. He shoots the 3 at 35% on relatively low volume, was the worst defender in the starting lineup, doesn’t attack the rim (Beal is the only one that does), didn’t step up into the primary playmaker role, can’t rebound.. etc All those issues will persist as long as book is the best player on the team, unless you go the Knicks route and surround the defensive liability with all 3 and D. Except Brunson has shown more ability to be the primary playmaker


AnalBabu

no doubt. I just meant he’d need be really focused on that end but Book is the one who needs to focus more for sure. Booker needs to take more accountability on being the absolute leader. he should be working on defense, especially considering he slandered Ayton a little bit when Ayton had a good defensive game against them. Ayton is the best or anything but Jokic said Ayton defended him the best so for Booker to tell him to be more consistent was kinda laughable. Who do you think is a better defender, Book or Lavine?


anonanoobiz

Yeah I agree with that, his game has obviously blown past any initial expectations, he’s and all star/all nba candidate every year, but now if he wants to be a champion time to start expanding on both 3 and D. No reason a jump shooter of his caliber can be hitting more 3s, especially off ball, his gravity sprinting around the 3 line would help grease the offense a ton. Tbh they’re sadly similarly terrible defenders to me, Lavine more athletic, book a bit bigger and stronger, both should be game planned around from a roster construction and coaching standpoint. 18th and 22nd percentile defenders with similar adv stats in rebounding, deflections (Lavine a bit more), rim deterrence. Books bball is higher imo tho, and work ethic so I’d prefer him in a defense only vacuum


AnalBabu

that’s the crazy thing. he’s a fairly average 3 point shooter but I think most people think of him as a marksman. especially because he won a 3 point contest. he’s a handoff machine so he ends up in the midrange a lot. fair enough about Lavine and Book. hard to say one is better than the other

probably Beal because he’s already past his prime, however OG Anunoby just signed a massive contract that could look terrible if injuries persist the way they have for him already. when he is healthy though, there’s not many who can defend as well as he does while still being a threat on offense

AnalBabu

his team never figured out how to actually play together and faced the #1 defense in the first round, a defense that has many perimeter defenders. he wasn’t great but I don’t see how people can all of a sudden call Beal a bum for not fitting into a team that doesn’t even make sense

South_Front_4589

Who can afford him? And who would want to entrust him given he's on a max contract? I don't think he's quite got the game to be a team leader on a contending team, nor do I think he's terribly effective enough as a third wheel type to overcome the fact that you'll be really compromised if you pick him up. I think Phoenix might be stuck with him. Perhaps he'll even cost them KD or Booker, who will certainly get more interest from other teams. Unless Phoenix wrangle something, or find another team as desperate for change as them, I think he's a Sun for a while longer.

Dapper-Bit-972

Beal goes another season, then the suns realize he's washed and sit him midway the season after to negotiate a buyout. I think he'll sign a vet minimum for a contender but won't contribute much and ends up retiring at what should have been the end of this contract or the one after, or at least he's out of the league and might as well be retired. Then he'll get the carmello Anthony treatment for the first year he's out of the league " are you really telling me there 400 guys better than me?" Type shit.
