Around The League 2022-2023 season

[RookieStar]

Wtf, this is why you can't give a no clause trade to a player

Yeah... team gets shafted by a player with that clause

[thelead]

Beal to Phoenix for Paul and Shamet.

Glad he isn’t going to Miami.

Is that confirmed?

Sort of a steal for Sun's, but Beal plays the same position as Boooker.

Someone make sense of this for me, please.

Beal has a no trade clause and can pick the team he goes to and for what essentially… and he’s making $50+ million per over the next 4 years. It is a steal for the Suns but his market wasn’t large due to the contract and injury concerns (averaging 55 games per season over the last 4 seasons).

The biggest thing was Beal’s no trade clause though.

I figured it was going to be a soft market due to the trade clause and his salary/cap changes, but it basically Shamet and seconds...

I remember people talking about boatloads of firsts for Beal a couple of years ago.

Guessing they waive Paul...i think we should think long and hard about claiming Paul.

Yeah, this is a bit lighter than I expected but I was saying that the 11th pick would be too much for him. But again, that trade clause is a killer.

2 things, I thought trading CP3 makes his contract fully guaranteed...

Also, I still don't get it from the Sun's perspective... Is Beal going to play PG?

[bigdogdylan5]

No one will ever be given a no trade clause again. If I am a wizards fan I am mad as hell. This is his value? And you decided to keep him and forgo blowing it up last year for a chance at the best prospect in years so you are going to tank in the weakest draft in years? Brutal and worst managed situation.

[bigdogdylan5]

People are going to look back 20 years from now at the Gobert trade and the Beal trade and be extremely confused lmao

i bet they try and outscore people. they will play Beal at SG, Booker at SF and Durant at PF. or basically 3 wings a PG and Ayton. But i think Booker and Beal can handle PG duties for spurts if the Suns need to bring in a PF.

[tiderulz]

i didnt think Beal would go for a lot with his injury history and his massive contract, but i thought they would at least get a 1st and some type of player. this is strictly a salary dump. Those pick swaps likely never used, Washington is always going to be a worse team than PHX

[The-Stallion70]

Book and Beal is weird. Talented but weird.

[RookieStar]

If i remember it right, esp during CP3 injuries, Booker was doing a lot of playmaking/PG roles.

They could make it work. A defensive guard and a rim protector with those 3....

If the pick swap is in 26-30 then it could ve very valuable. I have a feeling after 2 seasons PHO will implode.

Ayton can't be happy being the 4th wheel. Alsl the dude plays scared.

KD isnt getting younger..

Beal is injury prone.

Unless a lot of players want to play woth Booker then '25 up is a wildcard

[MagicFan101]

I fully expect Ayton to be moved. They need a defensive big man and to build out some depth.

[Rainwater]

I feel like it's a fair deal. Yes, ideally you would want more assets but Wiz needed to rebuild and and get from underneath that Beal contract. They just did it a year late. Additionally I really don't think Beal is as good as people make him out to be and I question the fit in PHX.

[Ducklett]

I just don't see any team bailing PHX out of that Ayton situation. But after this Beal trade, I gotta wonder what some front offices are smoking.

That NTC forced Washington’s hand. They probably had a handshake deal that he’d pick where he went and they’d make it happen.

Starting a rebuild with Avdija, Kispert, Johnny Davis, pick 8 and KP potentially as a trade asset isn’t a great starting point for them but at least they’ve got guys to give minutes to now.

How.about Kuzma? Lol.. also Johnny Davis has been a disapppintment so far right?

Isn't kuzma a free agent?

I remember Howard Beck going on Locked on Magic a few weeks ago and saying that Ayton for WCJ would be a big move for us. I think that's the outside view from many people.

Michael Jordan has agreed to sell his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall for an approximately $3 billion valuation, according to league sources. The transaction ends Jordan's 13-year run as majority owner.

Jordan paid $275 million for a majority stake in the franchise in 2010.

So the maths has this as a compound interest rate of 22% annual. I ask you, what investment on earth provides this level of pay?

This is how owners make money; not from ticket sales, TV rights, etc. Which help the team not cost anything annually.

Jordan east made 2.5B for putting his money into a NBA bank for 13 years. WOW!
