That right there is pretty much the reason the Suns will likely miss the playoffs. Obviously the Beal trade for Suns was a disaster.

The first priority in the offseason is to kick him off the team. No matter how, no matter for what....obviously you have to study every possible avenue to do it but it's a must to do it.

I bet the Suns would have never thought when they traded for Beal they likely lost Kevin Durant as well because of it. It's either Beal or KD that has to go or both. That's how much of a disaster the Beal trade has been for the Suns. $50 million a year for a guy that is either injured or not productive enough. He scores 1 freaking point against the Celtics last night, went 0-7. LOL. Suns are pretty much a two man show out there Durant and Booker with a bunch of role players including Beal. That's why we will likely miss the playoffs now they don't have enough help. Suns are two stars and role players and most of their role players are not productive enough on most nights. Boston has productive role players, Suns have role players that may have a good game or not.

After watching Booker and Durant this year, I see a lot of empty stats and not enough winning. Stars win games.

As for Beal - just buy him out. Better than spending draft capital to trade him.

We will never know how good the Booker/KD combo could have been. The trade of CP3 for Beal destroyed the future of this franchise beyond belief. It is not that I liked the trade for KD at all. I would not have made that trade either. Some argued that Beal was an upgrade and that CP3 had $30 Mil coming the season of the trade. Well, we had a team option on CP3 the following season. We could have used that money to fill in the holes with players other that Veteran Minimum contracts. CP3 was injured during that loss to the Nuggets in the first season with KD/Book. No one really knows how that series would have went with a healthy CP3.

Then our moron of an owner fired Monty. That was due to his poor relationship with Ayton. Then we hired a head coach, Vogel, that wanted to work with Ayton. We then traded Ayton for two players rather than him. Well Nurkic is gone and Allen has regressed after we gave him the big contract, which is just about as unmovable as Beals.

Wishbia needs to publish an apology to the fanbase for how he has destroyed this franchise in record time, while repairing it this summer in record time.
