Nope. Beal is staying…confirmed by several in the know folks.

And I will cream my pants if the Wizards pull that trade off.

Staying for what? Have those folks articulated what the roster moves are to avoid a 10 seed?

Ish/Neto
Beal/KCP/Matthews
Kuzma/Hutch/Bonga
Rui/Bertans
Gafford/Trez/Bryant

+15 & 22

Beal will need to average 40 to make the playoffs

Reports are that Kuzma and Harrell are being used for Dinwiddie SnT..

Dinwiddie, Beal, KCP, Rui, Gafford -- Ish, Deni, Bertans, Bryant

That's not bad

You want to stagger Gafford and Bryant so either Bertans starts and KCP comes off the bench with Bryant or Bryant starts and Bertans comes off the bench with Gafford. Test the lineups and see which plays with more synergy.

Either way they will sorely miss Westbrook's rebounding but won't miss his bad shooting.

I'm going to give him a temporary ban just to be safe.

Guy soldiered through Wall and then Westbrook. I'm not sure what would make him want a trade.

Dame at least have a much better team and playoffs and IMO milking that loyalty talk as much as he can.

Beal suffered through a Wall injury , an anchor of a Wall when he come back , and a Westbrook that got totally ridiculed when he was traded form houston (performance and team contribution wise). Now he doesn’t even have a former all star beside him.

What’s his “enough” threshold ?

This lead up is painful. ESPN is the devil.

I'll give the NBA this - they started this thing on time. I feel like the NFL was still 15 minutes out from even introducing that weird choir at this point.

They're moving right along! Let's see where things start getting intriguing...
