He’s 26, not 30.
he's effectively 27. if he ever plays for us, he will be older than 26
quote:
A player’s peak is typically Between 26-29, so Beal is just entering his
which means he only has 2 years left of play in the 2017 range (on a non-terrible team)
quote:
Might be that Griffin sees some untapped potential of a budding superstar as well.
he's nowhere close to a superstar. he's much closer to "3rd best guy on a title team"
quote:
It seems to me you are just looking for angles to hit him with,
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

Beal’s net cost is not going to be that high because of how coveted he is.
That is the trick great organizations understand. Once you get into that echelon of being able to trade for superstars While having other superstars, barring major mismanagement, you will be able to stay in those discussions because you now have the asset pool to win at the table and your team makes players look even better so even your role players sell better when you put them on the market.
Beal will cost a lot, he will also sell for a lot. Unlike players we have chased in the past.
I’ve said a lot I am all for the Turner route, for making a choice on Jrue based on what his intentions and expectations are for his post 30 contract coming up. But I see the potential in Beal as well. You are grossly undervaluing him if you think he comes here and plays third fiddle in the hierarchy. He would be the alpha scorer for the next few seasons as Zion and Ingram continue to develop. Beal would destroy defenses with Zion and Ingram with their gravity pulling defenders away from him, and vice versa.
