How on earth do we not need to upgrade? It’s PAINFULLY clear it’s our weakest position.
Untapped potential? He literally offers nothing other than chucking 3s. Even if he comes a good shooter his ceiling is like Joe Harris level.
Because we'd not be upgrading Beasley, we'd be upgrading Reaves and DLo, who will both be getting the lion's share of those minutes...
Beasley is what he's always been, a streaky jump shooter... That type of player can take a while to work into a rotation, because not only does he need to get comfortable, the rest of the team needs to figure out when to get him the ball, so that it finds him in his spots...
He's been absolutely phenominal for us some games, it's just the last handful or so where he's made some defensive mistakes and his shot hasn't been falling. But he's not bad for a 3rd string SG/wing...
I'm not opposed to trading any of our guards honestly, but I just don't think focusing on Beasley as the position we need to bolster makes any sense...
We don't really have a starting C right now, for instance... I like Bamba, but I'm not sure he's the right option there.
Our best lineup is DLo, Reaves, Vandy, LeBron, AD... And that could be upgraded, but not by much... The backups are all solid too.. Schroder, Brown Jr, Rui, Bamba, LW4, and yes even Beasley... Along with Christie, etc...
I'm just not sure why people are so lazer focused on Beasley as the source of all problems right now...
I’d do everything I can to keep this team together but that’ll be near impossible .
Since the break, this team has been near the top defensively and in the top 5 in rebounding .
Offensively we are in a great position when AD is aggressive and he is surrounded by solid scorers.
I’d definitely not give up on Beasley yet.
