Game 47: Phoenix Suns (24-22) @ Golden State Warriors (24-23) | Jan 31| 8:00PM

[sunsbg]

2-1 against mid teams I'll take it.

Suns should invite Gary Payton to all of their games to trash talk KD.

And ppl should constantly tell Book he didn't make the all star team

Yup, undefeated with Book snubbed for ASG and Payton trash talking KD. Keep them motivated.

It’s crazy how much better Richards is than any of our other Cs. We still need a stretch big to split those C minutes.

Wait... did we actually just have a blowout game IN OUR FAVOR?

Is Bench Beal better than Starter Jimmy for our team?

Not bad, not bad...

If they also throw three picks to get someone good at PF then a lot better.

Is Bench Beal better than Starter Jimmy for our team?

No

50m off bench is bad. We also need Jimmy's toughness if we want to even sniff a title

Encouraging win. Dunn and Richards athleticism and size helping us a lot

After the game while Book is getting interviewed, In the background you can see Draymond Green has Beal stopped and they had a curious conversation. Golden State has done some funky **** in the past. I dont know that I like Dre talking to anyone on our team, could be up to something or just straight mental sabotage!!

Beal was moved to the bench and responded well, don't think whatever donkey tells him will have an effect. If it does, he can always wave off the NTC and look for better opportunities.

Very nice win. I actually didn't watch since league pass doesn't have ESPN games, but when I pulled up the score after the game, I was happy to see a big win, even if they were missing Kuminga and Green.

Regardless of teams' players, we haven't been able to put teams away and just keep piling it on.

Hopefully it's a turn of the tide and not just a great hot shooting night from everyone.

Sure I want to blow it all up, but I can never hope we lose, and since we are unlikely to blow it up, it would be pointless to root to lose given none of our picks for the next 7 years or whatever are tied to where we finish and we can't get a high lottery pick for a long time even if we were the worst team in the league 7 years straight.

Yeah, I don't think Beal really lets things phase him once, but I know Draymond was the guy to reach out to KD the minute they blew the finals to the Cavs, telling him they need him.

Interestingly enough, I was just watching the trade value podcast on youtube with Simmons and Russillo (about to get back to it) and they were talking LaVine, and Simmons mentioned how tough it is for Curry on GS since he is the only guy that can create a shot and if they just had a guy like LaVine, or one other guy that could create his shot it would help them a ton. I think Beal would help them a lot.

However, I don't think they would trade for him unless we gave them a couple picks, and I don't think they'd send us back a better player. And I think Jimmy would be better for them to trade for given how old Curry and Draymond are now...they can reset in a couple years.

As far as for us, is bench Beal better than Jimmy. Both will have good games and bad games. I think an engaged Jimmy in the playoffs would be big, but I have zero idea what kind of Jimmy we will get...particularly for the next two years. I do know as much as everyone hates Beal, he puts in the effort, is a pro, doesn't whine, doesn't flop, etc. I'm one of the few or only one who appreciates Beal despite knowing he is vastly overpaid and is unfortunate with injuries. It's not his fault we traded for him.

Beal would be so much better on GSW than on our team, the Warriors could really use his shot creation. Look at what having a pure scorer/legit bailout option in KD did for the Warriors, they became one of the most dominant teams of all time. Beal isn't prime KD but he would absolutely help them, It's criminal how ill fitting Beal is with us he's completely neutered.

Beal to GSW, GSW expirings and our picks to Miami and Jimmy to us sounds ideal. That's one city and team Beal will be mad not to waive his no trade clause for
