I agree with you on many things, but not this one.

When you have a problem, you take care of it if you have a brain. Bradley Beal is a fcking problem that is not going away by just letting him play with the players we bring in to replace our best two fcking players. It makes no damn sense on multiple levels.

You and others need to wake the FU. Bradley Beal needs to go away somehow, someway. I do not care how.

Wonder how many teams Mat still thinks will exchange their rosters for his. Is there even one owner who'll take on a super expensive team that missed the playoffs and has no valuable picks going forward.

We need to convince Nico they need Beal more. Gotta ask for literally every asset they've got for KD. Make them pay for the food, the plane's fuel, every staff member of the arena. And then just whatever contracts work for Beal.
SHAZAM!

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

See, this is actually BS and a totally inaccurate representation of the situation! Logically there are multiple mechanisms available to the suns in order to create a modicum of flexibility.

Promoting narratives like this, albeit still somewhat creative, cause me to lose faith in the journalistic integrity of some of these talking heads/ pundits at times as they often now lean into sensationalism rather than logic and more objective analysis of situations.

Wonder how much value O'Neale or Allen has around the league. I don't expect a FRP - but maybe a contract and SRP

Nick Richards is $5m -- would some team just accept him in there cap for a TPE and 2nd round pick

So if you send out $31m of thsoe players and take back $23-25 along with Micic and Martin - a Durant trade could be more than cutting salary

Three years tells me ... and maybe I am wrong - but they are discussing EVERY player on the roster :wink:

Even if certain players have been told they are not being traded. As "1" player is not sticking around for a 3 year rebuild

I guess I should not take my radiation treatments to make my cancer go away.

When you have a problem, you take care of it if you have a brain. Bradley Beal is a fcking problem that is not going away by just letting him play with the players we bring in to replace our best two fcking players. It makes no damn sense on multiple levels.

You and others need to wake the FU. Bradley Beal needs to go away somehow, someway. I do not care how.



Beal has been a consumate professional albeit fragile as glass...

He doesn't deserved to be sat down or benched. He accepted a bench role and when healthy has played decently as 3rd banana.

Again best is to make him tank commander bring his stats up them trade as expiring.
