Something that will be needed both now and especially if we trade for Whitmore+Jalen.

Last update I saw (late November) was he's still not healthy so as of yet is unable to play.

Ahhh I was wondering. He certainly has the pedigree to be on a team. It makes sense that he's FA if he's hurt still

We do not need another point guard. We do not use the ones we have, as a point guard. Book is our point guard or Beal when Book is on the bench or KD whenever he wants to be.
What we need and do not have.
1. A clubhouse and on the court leader. We had two of them in CP3 and Jay Crowder. None of our big Three are leaders. They are all very good players but not leaders. That is what Butler would bring or so they say. How can we get Draymond Green? That would work.
2. We need to replace both Nurkic and Plumlee.
We are not going to blow this thing up, but we should.
The suggestions should be as to how we are going to salvage this season via moves prior to the deadline.
The Big three will be together for the next three years.

I wonder if Beal would want to go to Denver. I still don't really see a trade working where he goes somewhere and we work up with Butler, but say teams did agree, of course then Beal would have to waive his NTC for the trade (he will not waive the NTC in his contract meaning it will continue to exist if he did approve a trade) but the main reason the NTC is a big deal to Beal is that he is very much a family man and does not want to up and move him and his wife on the whims of a team deciding to trade him. He wants to do right for his family and isn't the type to want to move around a lot, which is why he stayed with Washington so long. He decided to do it for Phoenix because KD and Book called him up and the organization said they really wanted him here and was going to make it home.
He's not the type to really get disgruntled either I don't think, by being benched or whatever. He is a professional. But the NBA isn't the most important thing to him.Spoiler:

The real question would be the framework of that trade with Denver and Miami! Dunn and Oso better not be involved if it were to happen.

Let's hope not cause if those are his teams, he's staying put. Miami doesn't want him and Ish wouldn't trade inner division to LAL or to conf rival Denver.
Sigh, less than a month now. Come on, Feb 7th.

Denver out: Nnaji, Porter Jr., Cancar
Phoenix out: Beal, 2031 1st (to Miami)
Miami out: Butler
Miami in: Nnaji, Porter Jr., Cancar, 2031 1st from PHX
Phoenix in: Butler
Denver in: Beal
Of course sending Beal to Denver could come back to bite us in the ass.

Looks like Beal is beginning to accept this role. And the vibes are improving between everyone! Not sure he'll accept going to Miami or Denver if he's getting along with the team and the vibes are good! We should probably just keep Beal, have him continue coming off the bench, and just look to shore up our center position with trades, and flip our least-used players for more 2nds.
