it's frustrating when we see the high capacity but less than ideal output.

At least Simmons was 6’11. I also didn’t buy the hype on him, but at least I understood it. He was doing freakish things for his size. Beal? One-dimensional scorers his size are a dime a dozen in this league. He was given a very long leash based on the Florida championships and the early Wall/Gortat playoff Wizards. Without that first contract from desperate/dumb Leonsis, no coach would have ever allowed Beal to shoot that much. Watching him drop 30 ppg on one of the worst teams in the league while constantly goofing off on the bench permanently dropped him to clown status IMO.
Pairing him with Harden (and Kawhi) under yet another desperate/delusional owner makes too much sense. IDK the Vegas odds to bet against the Clippers, but I’d take them.
If Beal were a serious adult/serious about winning, he’d go to Milwaukee and prove it. But he’s not. He’ll go to LA to bus ride in the clown car while soaking in the sun and spending his fortune on IG models. Do I blame him? No, I get it. But I don’t respect it at all. Clown.
Whenever I saw him play, I thought of him as Bimbo Bradley. That's how I always remembered he wouldn't be leading his team anywhere. As far as his going to LA, that would be delicious - seeing Lebron struggle to make the playoffs in his $55 Million year.

Right! Melo couldn’t keep his damn mouth shut because Lin was taking his spotlight.

Maybe with their stash of 100 first rounders they'll be able to keep the flow of cheap talent to fill out a roster because the cap situation is changing quickly for them.

Ain't no way they're keeping I-Hart.

It's going to be tough for any team to stay in contention for longer than 3-4 seasons at a time. Maybe that's a good thing...

If the FO was building something that can compete for a title and maxing your salary would inhibit that then I could see some credible criticism but they are wasting his prime, he won't get those earning years back.
