Get what you can for Beal, but I would also be thinking hard about dealing Booker for infinite picks too to replenish what was sold. Why delay the inevitable when the eating could be good now? Wouldn’t mess with any scenario of him getting hurt. Thank you for the contributions

What happens when Beal continues to refuse trades via his NTC?

Gambo is adamant he doesn’t see any scenario where Beal is back on the Suns, whether it’s via a trade or a buyout or a trade for someone they can buyout.

That would be an expensive buyout. I don't see Beal taking much of a discount.

They had a 33-29 record in games he played, 3-17 without him. Not world beaters but pretty good when he was healthy, and even better when he and Beal both played. Their main problem was they missed 20 and 29 games respectively.

Look at how many times it seemed like a great situation for KD only for it to just completely fall apart with nothing to show for and his legacy watered down as a result. I do think that this is a different situation than the others, primarily because Houston has a great coach and elite defense. But it took a LONG time for him to get it right...assuming it goes well.

The grass was definitely greener for Durant in GS, but his own injuries got in the way more than anything else. He won two straight Finals MVPs and then got injured in the 2019 playoffs. He came back early from injury when his team was facing elimination down 1-3 and it cost him the entire 2020 season.

Really excited for this game 7! Hopefully, we get a classic.

Trust Indiana's offence more so I think they win this unfortunately.

I'm rooting for TJ McConnell.

91 last game was not OKC's lowest of the season. The Bucks held them to 81. I guess the Cup final technically doesn't count as a game though (dumb).

Every time I think it might be cool if the Pacers.

I remember what Haliburton's dad did to Giannis.

That is some horrible karma. Sorry for him.

Damn. Not a Hali fan but my heart breaks for the kid.

No way. That can’t be another Achilles can it?
