re: Shams: Pels one of teams interested in Beal

He’s 26, not 30.
A player’s peak is typically Between 26-29, so Beal is just entering his.
It seems to me you are just looking for angles to hit him with, even if it means ignoring certain contexts.
That argument is the equivalent of claiming James Harden ain’t shite because at 22 and 23 he was the third best player on his team and only averaging 25ppg(still hasn’t had a single 40% three point shooting season). Dismissing his season at age 26 as a fluke, even though any reasonable person recognizes he was entering his prime. And that Harden at 26 had Pat Beverly, prime Ariza, and Capella only getting him to .500 basketball and getting nearly swept in the first round. I am not calling Beal Harden, but simply illustrating the absurdity of this line of reasoning.
His age 27 season Harden got D’Antoni and took off.
Might be that Griffin sees some untapped potential of a budding superstar as well.

he's effectively 27. if he ever plays for us, he will be older than 26

which means he only has 2 years left of play in the 2017 range (on a non-terrible team)

he's nowhere close to a superstar. he's much closer to "3rd best guy on a title team"

if we could get him as a salary dump, i'd be all for it
he's going to be VERY expensive and he's simply not worth it. if we're willing to deal on that level, we need Turner, not Beal
on a good team Beal is a 20-22 5-5- guy who isn't as good of a shooter as his rep indicates (which has been with him since his draft time)
*ETA: and you have 3, maybe 4 years of THAT level left
