BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, second-rounders

[THE 101]

Gonna be a desperate ass franchise like Sixers who trades for this overrated bum.

 

[mbewane]

Butler needs more help

 

[jwinfield]

What's this franchise doing?

Fixing their mistake.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Miami can trade a pick in like 2026 or 2027. But they don’t have many left

I think its obvious that Beal's group planted this to probably get to Miami because of the Dame rumors. Give Miami something to think about before they give away everything for 34 year old Dame.

Calling Beal to the Heat
They don't have enough to get Dame but they should have enough with Lowry expiring and Herro to get Beal.
If anything I think that's too much considering Beal's terrible contract but Heat need to make a move so it's whatever

Paying him wasn't the problem per se as they can move the contract. It was more so giving the no trade clause and essentially having him dictate the terms of the trade.

Lol wtf
Paying him that much was ridiculous
Now they need to take a ton of salary back when they do trade him making him more difficult to move than people think cause wherever he goes you gotta take back bullshyt
Would've been a lot easier if they paid him close to the 35mil range

 

[Left.A1]

Paying him was dumb as hell

Ultimately you retain the asset and they will be able to get a large haul for him so it’s not really that bad

Get your supermax then use your leverage to get to your preferred destination after that.

shyt ain’t happening

Get your supermax then use your leverage to get to your preferred destination after that.

That’s the new format for star players

 

[MarcP]

not a whale imo
Go get a real star not a dude putting up numbers on a lousy team

We aint seen Beal infused with that Culture though.

 

[KneeGrow.]

Announcement is weird. It's equal parts:

"Y'all might could take Beal off our hands if we decide to blow it up. I don't know. What y'all tryna offer?"

And

"Brad said he might be willing to go. Who all gonna be there?"

Slow news day shyt

 

[RubioTheCruel]

shyt ain’t happening

They got a new GM, I doubt he wants to go 40-42 the next 3-4 years with this 'core'. They should blow it up no matter what and just start from scratch

 

[Frump]

Wizards finally rebuilding but waited a year too long

This was the draft to try to get a high pick in

The next two drafts look extremely weak in terms of having any franchise talent at the top

 

[Doctor Doom]

not a whale imo

If he was still on his old contract, I'd say do it.

New contract is toxic af.
