Could Bradley Beal be open to a trade now? Best offers?

[Mamba4Goat]

There’s a chance that Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks make Beal more open to waiving his no trade clause as his worries of minutes/role grow. If that happens, the Suns breaking him up into depth pieces could be helpful. They now have some picks to add to Beal to make him easier to stomach too.

If Beal agrees to waive his NTC, what’s the best offer you have?

[Godaddycurse]

Beal/10 for johnson/claxton

[tester551]

IMO, its not Beals NTC that limits his market.

It's his skill level vs contract. Really think it's going to be hard to trade him regardless

Would Phoenix have interest in trading Beal for Paul George? George is under contract for an extra year, but he is also a better player and not redundant with Booker and Green.

I'm not saying Philly would be all that interested, but it could make sense if someone absorbs Paul George from Philly in a trade for the #3 pick, and then that team flips Paul George to Phoenix for Beal's shorter contract. Beal considers it if that team agrees to buy Beal out.

[jayjaysee]

Beal and 10 to Dallas for Gafford, PJ, Naji with Klay flipped to some third team for pretty much anyone at any other position?

No it’s probably not the best avenue for either team to look at but it is two decent starters for Phoenix and a nice stealth tank move for Dallas. Win/win. And if Beal is somehow not terrible, that’s okay..

I feel like Beal to MIL for Dame is the only possible deal. Phoenix doesn’t have the assets to get anyone to take him on in a practical deal, assuming he’d even go there. MIL using a bunch of 2nds to turn one year of Dame super old and coming off major injury to two years of still solid but wildly overpaid Beal that actually fits their roster well makes sense. Phoenix adds some minor assets and can try to use Dame’s expiring deal next year in a deal as filler or just let him play PG.

[jayjaysee]

But if he did just waive it and just want to be traded somewhere he can start and have fun playing basketball? Milwaukee feels desperate.

NOP could look at Beal and “…” for Murray and Olynyk? No idea about their tax space next year though.

Something with Grant/Beal with Portland or a three team trade based off of it.

[Dr Positivity]

Let us consult the worst contracts list! viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2446129

1. Beal
2. George
3. Embiid
4. Grant
5. Dejounte Murray
6. Kawhi
7. Quickley
8. Poole
9. Jalen Green
10. Pat Williams

Obviously replace Kawhi with Lillard now

I'm not seeing too much to work with other than Sixers trading George for one year shorter deal or tapping out with Embiid trade, frankly the latter might be a possibility if Sixers know Embiid is damaged goods and Ishbia is their sucker.

I like Lillard for George more. 76ers could expect to not get a lot of Embiid next year anyway, and try for top 4 pick protection again. Then hope for a miracle in 26-27 with returning Lillard and healthy Embiid.

That would require some really blatant tanking. It's hard to lose in the East when you have an All-Star on the team. You've got to really try to lose, which the Sixers did last year, but it was really embarrassing. It's one thing to tank by focusing on developing youth, it's another thing to just not even try. That's really corrosive to a team's identity.

[Euphonetiks]

Beal doesn’t want to move unless it’s a good southern city AND a contender. When you combine that with his contract and declined play, I don’t see him going anywhere. Suns will just reroute Green

[MoneyTalks41890]

If I’m trading for Beal I would want 10 and I’d want him to irrevocably waive his NTC. The latter feels like it has less than 0 chance of happening.

Wiggins, Duncan Robinson for Beal, 10, other 1st?

[djFan71]

To the Heat for Robinson and Rozier. That works $ wise in fanspo.
Add MIA filler to get under apron, 3rd team, small pick one way or the other as needed.

[jayjaysee]

So if Phoenix could cut some extra salary there could be.. not the most realistic base at all?

Connaughton and seconds to some third team.
Kuzma and Lopez (23 mi first yr, ung 2nd/3rd) to Phoenix
Beal and the 2028 terrible first to Mil

Outside of cutting Martin/Micic would need to trim like 8-10 mil else where I think in order to fill roster under first apron.. But that could be done with Jalen, Grayson, Royce… etc.. there’s choices.

Brolo gets a big payday and a chance to start. Phoenix gets a stopgap center to split minutes with Richards while they figure out the rest.

Beal gets a chance to be a second option to Giannis.

[AingesBurner]

Collins, Sexton, George, and 2 2nds for Beal and #10. PHX cleans its payroll for next season.

Utah buys out Beal.

[redslastlaugh]

Kyle Kuzma, Pat Connaughton, Brook Lopez (S&T) to Phoenix
Brad Beal + 3 seconds round picks to Milwaukee

I understand he's entitled to this choice given he has a NTC but cmon man you're Bradley Beal, putting you on the team means it's no longer a contender.

[Scoot McGroot]

If I’m trading for Beal ... I’d want him to irrevocably waive his NTC. ?

There's just literally no mechanism for that to happen. A no trade clause can only be added or removed in a completely new contract; not in any form of alteration, extension, or renegotiation. And, since the NTC can only be exercised or not exercised at the time of any single trade, he can only take a single action at those times.

[Itzmotto]

IMO, its not Beals NTC that limits his market.

It's his skill level vs contract. Really think it's going to be hard to trade him regardless

Is Beal worth contract wizards gave him no plenty players are given contracts more than they are worth... But he was brought to PHX to be a 3rd option he still very good but was the odd man out

Was Beal worth the money? Yes and No. Definitely not the NTC. Previous management was bad, couldn’t draft and develop, and was comfortable just competing for the play-in by making a fringe midseason trade.

Beal was one of those guys that was worth more to his team than other teams. At the time, they were building around him and Wall, but then Walls downfall made management panic.

Beal can still play, he just needs a true PG, touches, and inevitably hes gonna have some lingering injury that makes him miss 30 games a year.

That said, WAS could take him back for:

Was sends: Middleton, Kispert, Colby Jones, #18
Was gets: Beal, #10, 2025 2nd, 2026 2nd

Was gets sliding Ace Bailey at 6 and hope for Maluach or Queen at 10.

Phx slides slightly out of lottery, but more importantly get off Beals deal for smaller and easier to move contracts.
