I'm sorry but Beal is definitely top 15 bro he isn't a winner he's putting up big numbers on a terrible team... and if yall want to talk about bad defense... but all in all I do want him... I just had to bring some ppl back to reality... back in the hole I go ??

I would definitely trade 4 or 5 our first round picks plus Ball and anyone else not named Zion or BI for Beal. He’s that good.

I think it would make us a contender overnight. Going by their recent box scores it doesn’t look like the wizards have ANY complementary players. Not sure it wouldn’t be in both teams’ best interests for us to trade them a bunch of assets for one star. Honestly everyone but BI and Zion should be on the table. Would really like to hold on to Adams though.

There are at least 10-Durant, LeBron, AD, Giannis, Curry, Kawhi, Luka, Embiid, Jokic,Harden, Dame are all better than Beal. Top 15 because it be would be subjective i.e. Tatum

What has Beal ever done besides put up numbers on a bad Eastern conference team?

Very talented player, but he hasn’t done enough to be a top 5 player, much less top 10

Beal is averaging 30 points on 30 shots. Any chance he gets even 20 shots a game coming over here? No

My thoughts as well..

You spent all offseason telling Ingram he was the go-to scorer - that when we need points he gets the ball.

Then you trade your entire 'war chest' for a guy who takes the ball out of BI's hands

So was AD not top 15 and now he's magically top 15 only because he plays with Lebron?

He's averaging 35 on 26 shots, huge difference.

if you watched even just last night, it's not a James Harden like situation where they just give him the ball and have the other 4 dudes stand in the corner and watch.

The team around him right now is awful and they need him to take all those shots, and he's doing it within the flow of the offense for the most part.

Sure, but if Washington is going to trade him, they're going to shop him, and we may not be able to outbid other teams, depending on who gets in the game.

Not to mention Beal Zion and BI aren't going to be on the court together all the time, there would lineups with Beal running 2nd units, etc.

That's exactly what you're doing right now.


Beal isn't top 15 because he's not a winner. Ok, AD was never a winner, so explain how he was top 15 if he wasn't a winner?

Lot of people that clearly don’t watch basketball outside the occasional Pels games trying to argue Beal isn’t a superstar

Threads like these really help weed out who’s opinion is actually worth a shite lol.

Beal empty stats, GTFO

Beal is amazing.

I will point out though, that he is horrific defensively. Not even a remotely good defender. So that keeps him out of the Top 10 convo.

Talk about deflecting. Everything I’ve posted is true. Nothing you’ve said is even remotely intelligent in regards to the original claim by Bronc that Bradley Beal is a top 5 player.

Oh the irony.

No one said he wasn’t talented, in fact I called a him top 15 player, which would make him an All NBA level player.

I’ve asked what the hell he’s done in a near decade? He played next to an All Star for YEARS and their time wasn’t even considered successful.

So how is he different than what KAT is doing in ‘Sota?

He’s been in the league long enough where if he were a “superstar” his team would have a chance every night. I don’t think you can say that about Beal.

Every guy I listed is better than Beal.

So JJ, Lonzo, and Melli are averaging 6.5 FG's on 20.5 FGA.

NAW and Bledsoe are averaging 7 FG's on 17 FGA.

Beal could take 20 shots a game and make 10-14 FG's.

Beal can also spread the floor and help Bledsoe/ NAW get higher percentage shots.

So essentially we could go from 13.5 FG's on 37.5 FGA to about 20 FG's on 35 FGA. And this is without taking shots from Zion/ BI while also giving them more options.
