Amico: Pelicans have “sincere interest” in Beal

The Beal interest is obvious.

Would rather use the capital it would take to get Beal to move up and get Ja.

I struggle with whether we should just stay where we are and take a shot on Garland. I seem him as a boom or bust type though.

If we were just giving up 4 for Beal, it would be a no-brainer, but the cost is likely to be very significant.

With no head guy in WAS with a certain vision in place, I feel we would need to seriously overpay for them to make the move.


Not worth it, IMO.

I’ll start a thread on Zion’s favorite color instead.

I know this sounds obvious because we all follow this stuff and already know, but this is significant for the sheer fact that ANOTHER person has said we are trying to get Beal. There’s just so much smoke now.

There was enough smoke already from the past ~2 weeks

I don't think we'll have a true grasp of griffins plan until Thursday night. It could literally go any direction.

Amico has recently just been reporting things others have said & will name his source. But yea he's not an insider himself

They will probably just stay put and keep the pick. It seems any grade for a vet we try to make will have to be an overpay. Maybe Thursday night some team gets antsy and offers us a good package for 4 like Atlanta but I think right now we just take the pick. De’Andre Hunter or Darius Garland to me are the two obvious choices. To get Beal we would have to include Ingram or Zo plus the 4th at least. That’s steep.
