What do you guys think about trading for Beal?

What does your package look like? And why would Grunfeld prefer your package instead of other packages available?

Venus will align with Jupiter on the wed before the trade deadline, allowing Dennis schroder to assume his final form, thus making Ferguson, Adams, and Paul George expendable. All the signs are there if you guys are paying attention.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Porter and Schröder will get traded for each other at halftime so they can switch jerseys.
"I don't know of any player that, when the shot goes up, he doesn't want it to go in," Donovan said

I wish getrichordie was Washington's GM. We would be able to trade Schroeder and Abrines for Beal and a first round pick.

Haha. I wish I was too my friend... I’d like to only be the assistant since I have a lot to learn lol.

Just think it makes a whole lot more sense for Washington to re-tool and look to the future...

Something to keep in mind: More often than oft (at least that's my perception), teams tend to go in a new direction personel wise when they make a move like that. So unless Grundfeld gets fired, I think the chances of them re-tooling are slim, especially since Wall is untradeable right now.

Grunfield had been there so long it's tough to tell.

some people just have their heads in the sand, inventing made up things he's doing well to avoid coming to terms with how much he has sucked. and it's not just that he's sucked, he doesn't know how to mentally handle it. watching him obstinately post-up over and over and get sonned is embarrassing. i feel bad for him. he airballed another post up turn around jump shot.

without pg exploding this team is in trouble on offense because of how unreliable russ has been.

But Russ has been a positive impact on offense in such a way that it is noticeable! /s

If Ferguson could hit any kind of a shot I think he could be invaluable to this team.

Russ is on some kind of trend right now...

Starting with the Jazz game on December 22, this is his FGM and FGA over the last 9 games:

3/17
10/19
6/20
17/29
4/22
13/24
3/20
13/28
3/11


That 3/11 is the 1st half of tonight's game. Basically, over the last 9 games, he's having one REALLY bad game followed up by a good to great game.

I think a good nickname for Russ right now is "Feast or Famine".
