I think Beal and Maxey are close friends and Maxey someway is close to Beal since a kid.

Embiid is there and when healthy the Sixers are an elite team. Paul George looks a terrible contract and the Sixers probably prefer Beal + 1 FRP over him.

Sure it makes sense but would Beal want to go to 76ers?

Take this account with a grain of salt but here is the rumor about the Sixers.

Beal would start next to his friend Maxey, it's a big city and a winning team just waiting for Embiid. I think he would be OK and the Sixers would take his shorter contract + 1 or 2 picks over Paul George who would go to the GSW.

Looks perfect to me lol.

Just like when he bailed out the Lakers by taking Westbrooks' contract after they traded for him, and it backfired terribly?? Ainge has some sort of strange relationship with the Lakers, helping them out when they need it most. :nod:

These videos of Luka's press conference feel like a hostage video or something.

I don't buy for a second that Luka "always wanted LA" or whatever dumb **** people tried saying.

The dude looks absolutely, positively miserable.

Rockets really have a hard on for Booker.

How do we fleece them?

Luka wears his heart on his sleeve, these videos tell me he never asked out or threatened to walk. Dude this transaction needs to be investigated. It stinks.

Luka got played by Mavs and Lakers GMs. Maybe he'll like it in LA, but there is a chance he tells them screw you and go play with his buddy Jokic or Wemby..or his son. Will have to get rid of anchor contracts of Beal/Butler for the latter to happen.

I hope Matty is reading RealGM WT.

"With the new rules, we have to understand there are probably only about 10 true max salary players in the league," said one longtime executive to ESPN.

If we dont trade KD this year we are farked...

Its not that hes a bad player but it doesnt work with this team...It doesnt work with Booker...

Booker needs to be THE guy...zero questions asked.

To many chefs in the kitchen is always a disaster...

Reminds me of the Dragic, Bledsoe, Knight days....

All the past champions usually had 1 guy that was THE guy... Curry, Jokic, LeBron, Giannis, Kawhi...

We need to build around Booker and not go around chasing guys like KD or Beal and end up worrying about their feelings and role on the team...

Butler wouldnt make a difference for this team even if we got him for free.

Suns would have to already have three simultaneous trades lined up where KD is going somewhere, Book is going to Rockets, Beal is going elsewhere. Once Book is traded, KD's value goes down dramatically with teams knowing we are in a rebuild phase, so they won't offer much. Though, likely won't get much anyway for KD.
