OF COURSE THEY ARE....

:mjlol:THEY'RE WAITING TO SEE IF
BEAL DROPS HIS NO TRADE CLAUSE

HE NEEDS TO STOP BEING
AN a$$hole.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A PLAYER
WANT TO STAY WITH A TEAM
THAT DOESN'T WANT HIM ANYMORE
:devil:
:evil:

Yeah, but you gotta look at it from Beal's perspective...

Family aside, and strictly basketball reasons, who would you rather play with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant in Phoenix or, hypothetically, since there have been discussions, in Miami with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro?

Going somewhere else where the ceiling for success is lower doesn't help him win if his goal is competing for a championship. If Beal truly wants to win a championship, his best bet would be to stay in Phoenix, and that's part of the reason he's not interested in waving his NTC.

Sure, Miami is Miami in terms of lifestyle, but it makes better sense to play with KD and Book, where he'd have a higher probability of winning than in Miami. Also, Beal probably doesn't want to be the #1 option anymore and feels playing with Booker and KD is less pressure on him; he's performed well off the bench where if he qualified, he'd be a 6th man candidate.

Even tho Phoenix, record-wise, isn't the best, there's still a better chance of him winning just based on who his teammates are, and the potential for competing is much higher.

Suns knowingly traded for Beal with his NTC, that's just bad management
Dude was minding his business, coppin Ls, playing 50 games, cashing checks. They came and got him tryna build a 2K squad.

He might not wanna go to bootcamp in MIA. He (his wife) might really like PHX. nikka might just not appreciate being dangled like a pawn. Or he may just be getting off on having the power. Either way its his prerogative. Like he said, he holds the cards.

Nah, he wanted to be traded and wanted to go to Miami and they weren’t interested and Phoenix was the back up. Son said he wanted to win. That shyt ain’t working so why are you staying there unless you’re resigning yourself to take Ls forever.
