I have been cock blocked my entire life. Another reason why I despise Beal with passion. He seems like a good dude, but cock blocking is where I draw the line.


Beal thinks that a contender wants him on their team. He will be lucky to find someone to take his contract.

He has done absolutely nothing his entire career and has done even less on the Suns.


Yeah, he’s delusional thinking a contender would want his services. What exactly has he done for him to earn a starting spot for a contender, which I assume he desperately wants. I didn’t want Beal to get traded for butler, but at this point just do it and see what happens. He’s holding our team hostage it seems. lol

Why is it that every trade has the Suns sending three, THREE, First round picks for Butler?

Do these people really think he is worth that at this stage of his career? I get they are later in the first round picks but still --

I am not going to blame Beal for a damn thing

Blame the stupid owners who give things like NTC. Ishbia could have said for the deal to go through, need to waive your NTC in teh future. He didn't. Again, this is on the genius that is Mat Ishbia

Beal had one last chance to prove he was a legit star alongside Booker/KD.

If things go our way in the future and we happen to win a title by 2038 I should still be in my 50’s and hopefully alive. But the window is getting tight.

Big trade column today on ESPN from Bobby Marks going through each team. Here our some trades he mentioned the Suns could maybe do:

He's the DominAyton of guards. Got that fat check and wants to live somewhere warm to keep collecting it.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Trades aren’t supposed to be sexy. If they were than every team would benefit from them.

Ishbia is at fault for believing in Beal and Beal letting everyone down?

These are the types of trades the Suns will be making if they trade for Butler, extend him and Durant and have no cap space

It will just continue to be trades on the edges that really don't move the needle. I get Richards for Okogie was a nice move but a lot of these will be - you get better in one area, worse in another and what lousy contract are you taking.

Gambo: "my sources are telling me that the Suns are trading their average player for another average player that really will not improve the win total"

Flex: "The Suns and Ishbia are playing 3D chess while everybody is playing checkers as he executes another trade."

Ishbia is paying 50M per year. Meanwhile Beal can barely stay on the court.

Beal is complaining about "cold weather" teams when his entire career was in DC.

Meanwhile he is playing the worst basketball of his career on a "hot weather" team.

All while being a league leader in wasting time tying his shoe laces during a game.

The entire team doesn't want him there and that is pretty obvious.

Do I need to go on?

Nurkic for Rui.


That'd be pretty solid! Are the lakes able to do this trade though? Can't remember if they're also a 2nd apron team like us after their trades. :D

They are $3m under so they can package players. Nurk for Rui/BRONNY works 8 :lol:

Bronny being the centerpiece to try and draw Lenbron here again?? ... :lol:
