If it wasn't for him not getting along with Durant Draymond could chase another ring in Phoenix.

Feeling like Golden State will have to re-invent themselves this off-season. I understand why they couldn't last year but they really should have

PHX has nothing left to trade. Ayton and picks out to 2030 isn’t enough to get AD

Orlando front office isn’t taking on that albatross of a contract especially with the new CBA. Would have killed all the cap space they have created and they are building around Banchero.


What are they going to fill that with? Having an actual SG doesn't mean you're abandoning building around Banchero.

This team struggles to score points lest we forget.

Don't get me a rant on the Magic and all their rebuilds since 2009. It's always the same song and dance about cap space with this team since 2000.

They end up whiffing and then they're paying usless bench players like Gary Harris $20MM.

KAT would be the answer there. If Sota resets, and they should.

Is Chris Paul the best player in major league American sports history to play for this many different teams?

Usually guys as great as CP only play for a couple or few teams

Shaq played for a ton of teams, especially at the end.

Lol y’all can’t name more than 10 good players that are elite second rounders out of the 1000s of 2nd rounders ever selected and you act like you’re proving a point

lots of points but no defense



KD is a really good defender and D Book showed in the playoffs he can be better than serviceable. Now as for Beal...

what a terrible trade. Good riddance Beal, you suck. But with that type of return should’ve just given him the Rockets-Wall treatment. Entitled brat.



There were already many reports that there wasn't much of a market for Beal. No one was interested in taking on a contract that will reach 50+ million per year for a guy that isn't a top 25 player.

One of the overlooked things is the Wiz need cap relief and had to get off of his contract. Trading for Paul allows that. And They'll probably get picks so far down the pipeline where you hope the Suns suck by then.

This was probably the best offer on the poo poo platter.

They need an elite offensive rebounder. I know a guy. He’s in the parish today.

We are probably discussing something pointless because 1. Beal wasn’t waiving his No trade clause to go to Orlando and 2. The Magic couldn’t make the salaries line up for a trade without gutting the roster(and if they could go get Dame instead).

As a Magic fan all the way back to the Shaq and Penny days, I know the history as well and it’s frustrating. I would rather see them try to package their picks this year and if needed next year to get to 2 or 3 to get Scoot or Miller and then use the cap space for 1-2 year contracts that you overpay on but it keeps you cap flexible as the deals are short.

Wiz had a better offer from the Heat but Beal forced his way to the Suns and took one of our good bench players with him, Goodwin. He’s a piece of shite and Durant basically admitted to tampering saying he was recruiting him there. The agent being related to someone on the Suns too, it’s all sketch. I feel like a Pelicans fan right now.

Having said that, the joke is on the Suns. Beal won’t help them win a title. Gonna be a while til we are competitive again but now we have a rebuild vision in mind with Winger and avoid the 35-36 win season that this franchise has been ok with since Wall got injured.

Also what the f is IT doing shadow GM’ing the Suns?

Washington is trying to trade him, Warriors and Clippers are the two most likely teams
