you'd have to give up their choice of OG or TD. Its just not enough for the 2nd leading scorer in the league.
I'd avoid Beal altogether. Consider we're looking at FVV signing a 60/3 or 80/4, I'd be very hesitant tying up almost 50 mill in cap space on two undersized guards.
Players of his archetype don't tend to win games because they need to be a #1 guy to maximize their value (and make up for value lost on the defensive end), but aren't good enough to be a true #1 (Booker, D'Angelo, Lillard come to mind). Put him on a good team like the Raptors who like to spread out their usage, and he quickly becomes a neutral or slightly positive player.
I'd rather continue focusing on signing & developing solid two-way players, or target someone in the archetype of Khris Middleton.
Yeah I wonder if he would be an Eric Gordon type in our system.
Honestly not sure.
If so, better off with powell.
He is far more talented than Eric Gordon. Gordon is a pretty well rounded scorer but Beal has a completely refined scoring arsenal.
In terms of scoring skills, he is far ahead of anybody on the Raptors. Nurse would do wonders for his game and be able to squeeze out more playmaking from him. If there is a reasonable trade to get him without giving up Siakam or OG, you take it.
