re: Fletch 3: The Fletchening...Pels want Beal in 3 team trade

I'm not sure who wants to do that.

26 is young . He has like 6 years before you even talk about a decline

I think the idea is that some of us want young players who will have their prime overlap with Zion's. If we get a player like Tatum, who is only 2 years older than Zion, a large portion of their prime years will occur at the same time, which increases the odds that this team will be successful. Let's say Zion reaches his prime in 5 years, at 24 years old. Beal will already be 31, and will be close to a decline. So we may end up with one or two years where our best players are the best they can be.

This isn't a huge deal to me, but I can understand the thought process behind it.
