    Beal's agent is the father of Sun's CEO, apparently. Happy Father's Day!

    Nas is better than most of their lug nuts currently on cap holds, if not all.

    Woj is saying that CP 3 will have a better chance of landing with a contender now. obviously through a buyout. So the Wizards take is lousy on a good day. Worse after a buyout of CP3. Blizzards are mired in a shit storm.

    I know it says through a third team, but what contending team has ability to trade for that contract, and not give up assets of worth.

    If Miami wouldn't give up Herro for Beal, any other team that deals with the Wizards are still likely to give up trash in return for Paul as well.

    Maybe I’m crazy but I think Beal is massively overrated and not at all worth his contract.

    You're not crazy. Beal is paid 2x (or more) than what he's worth.

    Id be upset if the Suns (living in Phoenix- my second favorite team) paid any more than this for Beal

    It does actually. He does not need to score and they need some D.

    It's great news if you're a Blazers fan. Beal is not going to raise their ceiling. He's just going to leech high efficiency shots away from Book and KD.

    Blazers have ZERO chance to beat the Suns.

    They do need depth, and Ayton can't be excited about be a distant 4th option on offense, right?

    Agree… Nurk, 23, and filler would help both teams.

    He does. As someone who can't stand the Suns, i want them to self destruct. I loved seeing the mercenary Durant lose to the Nuggets.
