Bradley Beal thread

[lilfishi22]

Almost means nothing when Vogel say an injury isn't serious....

[kennydorglas]

Hopefully he'll fix his nose now

Frank Vogel said the plan is for Bradley Beal to have that procedure done on his nose over the break that had previously been reported as a possibility. Vogel said it shouldn’t interfere with the plan for Beal’s hamstring. Nose procedure will only keep him out a few days.

Seeing how Hardens hamstring issues ended up causing the implosion of the Nets big 3, I'd say KD would be telling Beal to take his sweet time

Book hurts his hamstring a lot and is usually only out 1-2 weeks. Doesn't seem like it should be more than a couple weeks which would mean he should only miss 1-3 games after the break. Since we have a b2b to start, if he's ready he probably only will play 1 of those, but with 3 days off between Houston and LA, maybe they give him the extra time which would be over 2 weeks.

I wonder what the Sixers offered for Beal and if Suns will regret not taking that deal.

Probably a moot point due to Beals non trade clause. That no-trade clause is a bummer but without it he's likely not a suns player right now.

Those headlines sounded like click bait to me.

Yeah any 'team x inquired about player x' type reporting is worthless. Like yeah GMs talk and ask about players all the time, thats like literally their job and not news.

Aside from that, what do they have to offer? We're both trying to contend so what do they have that would make us better? On salary alone, you'll need you'll likely need to include someone like Harris who I have no desire for

It's literally no different from when I used to play 2K and going through every team with a superstar and packaging up 3-4 salaries and hit "trade" to see if it goes through, if not then next team.

Tobias Harris overall has more value than Bradley Beal right now though.

Beal has the worst contract in the NBA at the moment.

Id also argue it's simply not true. There are several players making $15m+ who are unplayable and out of rotations. Those are the truly bad contacts. Guys who can actually play but are overpaid are definitely ahead of them in the bad contact deal.

Hell Poole who was another option and is a way way worse contact. He's been dismal with Washington.

Id rather have Beals contact than Aytons.

I don't read into at all. It's just hyperbole

When it's to do with the Suns, everything is always the worst. You see it all the time. We get the worst whistle, we have the worst home crowd, we have the worst contract, we have the worst bench, we have the worst Big 3, we have the worst franchise player, we have the worst owner, we have the worst coach, we have the worst GM, we have the worst half time show, we have the worst MC's, we have the worst....arena name, we have the worst whatever whatever whatever

When you're not happy with your team or some aspect of the team, everything is always the WORST.

Bradley Beal has had procedure done on broken nose, sources inform @azcentral.

As for the left hamstring, sources inform @azcentral Bradley Beal is on track to return Thursday at Dallas barring any setbacks.

Let's go!!

I don't get the hate for Beals contract. You can criticise his availability for the past few seasons but as a player he was a legitimate all-NBA level player and elite at what he does (score). When you're that level of player how much can you even be overpaid?

Reminds me of when Gobert was the flavor of the month in terms of being called overpaid and NBA groupthink went along with it.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Also the same for games played. He's worthless if he is always wearing street clothes. His bad 3pt shooting in games outside of the Lakers/Washington is embarrassing. I don't know the exact stat off the top of my head but its somewhere around 20%.

He is the 6th highest player in the NBA, only Curry/Durant/Joker/LBJ/Embiid make more. All the names mentioned are legit MVP candidates. Can we say the same for Beal? He's also missed more games this year than the guy we traded for him (CP3) who is 39 years old in an expiring contract. I would argue that Beal is not even in the top 25 of NBA players. Definitely does not justify his contract. He was on a bad team for a decade, never got them anywhere in the playoffs when they did make it.

Please bro, look into your facts before you start being a Beal stan. That is currently the worst contract in the NBA. On top of that, you need to get his say-so if you even want to think about trading him. Ridiculous.

Players that make less than Brad Beal:
Giannis, Kawhi, PG13, Dame, Butler, AD, Doncic, Towns, Booker, Harden, Ja....
