Best Realistic Offer: Bradley Beal

[babyjax13]

The Knicks seem like the team that would go for it.

RJ Barrett + Obi Toppin + Kevin Knox + 2021 NYK 1st (15) + 2021 DAL 1st (21) for Beal

Washington gets a young player that has already shown some promise, a reclamation project, and two picks. I think this offer will be competitive, but I also think another team could offer better.

Depth chart:
Quickley/???
Beal/???
FA/???/???
Randle/???
Robinson/???

Salaries: ~$58 million
Cap Space: ~$54 million

Grab in FA:
Lonzo Ball ($80/4)
DeMar DeRozan ($54/3)
Richaun Holmes ($48/3)
Derrick Rose (MLE)

And fill out the roster with minimum contracts. Maybe trade Robinson for a small forward and not sign DeRozan, but this is just an example of how it could play out:

Ball/Quickley/Rose
Beal/Ball
DeRozan/FA
Randle/FA
Holmes/Robinson

Do you see what other teams fans are offering? This is 5% of the value of some other deals lmao

Well (a) no, it's not, and (b) I think some of these offers are simply too much.

I mean you’re going against what others have to pay and your offer value is a % of what you call too much?

2 non-lottery firsts + 2 borderline NBA rotation players + 1 NBA player with non-superstar potential. Either way, it’s easily the worst offer in this thread

You may feel other offers are too much but this offer would get completely ignored. Knox has zero value. Toppin looks like a bust and some middling firsts attached to Barrett ain't coming close to gaining traction.

[Ruzious]

At this point, Knox and Toppin get you half a ham sandwich.

[Scoot McGroot]

Is there a better realistic offer than Wiseman, ‘22 T’Wolves 1st and Warriors ‘21 1st? I just don’t see who both could and would?

I think Edwards, 2021 #1, Beasley, and Rubio expiring as a centerpiece beats it. Cunningham, Edwards, Beasley + 17m expiring is pretty ideal to start a rebuild.

If the wolves started:

D Lo
Beal
McDaniels
Bertrans
Towns

That’s a dangerous shooting starting 5

Why on Earth would Minnesota deal Cade Cunningham, though? Wouldn’t he be PERFECT to plop at the 3 or 4 with some combo of Towns, Edwards, Russell, and even Beasley?

What do you have as the top 3 offers in the thread?

[Laimbeer]

Any GM that offers a top three pick in this draft for what could be a Beal rental should get fired immediately.

[nate33]

The Wizards aren't trading Beal for anything less than a top 4 pick in this draft. Which means the only way Beal gets traded is if a pretty decent team lucks into the top of the lottery, - someone like New Orleans, Toronto, Memphis or Golden State. One of those teams could offer the top 4 pick and filler and then field a contender with Beal in the fold - a scenario that is highly likely to convince Beal to stay.

I wouldn’t say that is 100% true.

If Wolves keep their 1st in 2021, I think the unprotected Wolves 1st in 2022 from Warriors would be attractive.

Wiggins + Wiseman + #13 + 2022 Wolves 1st (unprotected) + 2022 Warriors 1st (unprotected)

FOR

Beal + Bertans

Wizards would have 2x 2021 1sts and 3x 2022 1sts, that is a quick start to a rebuild. Maybe they can get a 2026 1st out of GSW too.

No thanks from the Wizards. If Minnesota keeps their 1st, it's because it's a top 3 pick - and adding a top 3 pick to a healthy Towns and an improving Edwards is likely to elevate Minnesota in the standings a significant amount next year. I could see them finishing with the #10 pick in the 2022 draft. And I'm not trading Beal for Wiggins, Wiseman and two picks in the teens.

Maybe. But do realize that was their exact plan this year, draft #1 overall and not suck. Oops. Worst team in NBA.

[Slim Charless]

Boston should hop in this if they continue their current path.

Send out:

Smart
Brown
Timelord
2 Firsts (21 and 23)

Get back:

Beal
Bryant

I don't know if the defense will be good enough with a pairing of Kemba and Beal. Maybe another step back on defense with a swap of Williams for Bryant.

[tmorgan]

I really don’t think Beal is going to get offers as big as most of these.

...but then, my jaw dropped at the return on Jrue, too.

[PistolPeteJR]

I really think most of the offers I’m seeing for Beal on here are too much. The guy is most effective when he has the ball in his hands. We’ve seen Beal without the ball in his hands as much with Wall. Is he better now? Absolutely, not a single doubt about it. However, with team like Portland for example, he will not be as effective.

A Beal trade to me is the epitome of “he is more valuable to team X”. For example, I really think a team like the Nuggets would benefit probably the most out of him, because playing him next to Jokic would be deadly. Having said that, is it worth both Murray AND MPJ? I don’t think so, personally. I’d rather have Murray-Harris/Barton-Gordon-MPJ-Jokic than Beal-Barton-Harris-Gordon-Jokic myself.

Those are all good points and I’d also add there’s some real denial here - beal is 100% gonna have say in where he goes with a year left on his deal. He’s not going to Memphis and places like some people suggest it’s just not even worth talking about.

If beal is available on draft night to me that means he’s going to golden state

He’s gonna get a very good return but it’s gonna be a return from places where he will re-sign which immediately eliminates places. The teams with the greatest returns for Washington may not even be in play if beal won’t commit long term.

Not to mention the offer is a huge overpay for Boston.

[NYG]

For me, the Wizards try working on an extension but if he rejects it then whichever headliner the Wizards prefer out of the following 3...

Tyler Herro
Minnesota 1st owned by the Warriors
Michael Porter Jr.

Then you build the value off of that to what makes up the difference.

Looking over pick situation and salary matching...

Herro, Achiuwa, Okpala and ‘28 Heat 1st for Beal (Miami waives/renounces all team options/cap holds besides Duncan Robinson)

Wiseman, Wiggins, ‘21 Warriors 1st and ‘21 (or ‘22) T’Wolves 1st for Beal and Bertans

MPJ, Barton, JaMychal Green and ‘21 Denver 1st for Beal
