Beal’s agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports confirmed to ESPN that a framework is in place that’ll land Beal with Suns. “This was an extremely complicated process with so many different hurdles to get through and Ted Leonsis and Michael Winger were unbelievable partners in making this happen.”
Yeah Ive never rooted for a franchise in any sport with an owner who's just straight up yolo and rich as ****. It's certainly entertaining and a stark contrast from Sarver. Wish Matt was around for the Nash era, probably have a banner hanging right now.Kyler Murray wrote:Holy cow, that's as all in as you can go. Don't know if it's gonna work out but to have an owner willing to go balls to the wall is a pleasant change of scenery.

The only reason this trade worked is because Phoenix was the only place Beal wanted to come. Beal believed Phoenix was the right place for him and his family. And he wants to win a Championship with Booker and Durant.

The trade is heavily lopsided (the NBA might have to look into it further). Beal's agent and the PHX CEO are father and son. I think it will still go through. But, I would be very careful thinking a title will be coming automatically.

Other teams that I have spoken too are just floored that the Suns got Beal for salary dump - one said it was Insane what the Wizards just did. They can't understand why Washington did not do what Brooklyn did with KD and just wait it out for a better deal.
They didn’t get a single 1st rd pick??
I would feel great is we still had Mikal/Cam and some of our 1sts.bwgood77 wrote:Wow I'm shocked we got him for that. Gives me extended hope for the post KD era too. I would have loved this deal even without the KD deal to have those two guys, Bridges, Cam and even Ayton (or anyone at C). Of course either way this might be the best most unexpected deal I remember us making. We basically gave up nothing, though GoK REALLY is going to have slim pickins on even 2nd rounders now.

Tall about making a splash. We basically gave up nothing for Beal since Shamet has negative value.
Our top 4 is absolutely ridiculous. I don't worry about roster spots 5-10 with a full offseason to come. Those roster spots will sort themselves out, one dimensional guys, scrubby athletic defenders and ring chasers are everywhere and will jump on a min deal from a contender

Nets were historically great. It was the offcourt that spoiled the on.

This single trade? No. This whole roster? Another story.sashaturiaf wrote:MrMiyagi wrote:Said the Nets and the Clippers.sashaturiaf wrote:Ishibia is a god.

We already went all in with the KD trade. There was no backtracking from there on.
Can't see how you can be mad with this trade since we gave up nothing. This move improves our title chances next season and is insurance for future seasons if KD falls off due to age.
