    The Suns are worse off as a franchise right now than they were before the trade. :)

    Classic new owner syndrome.

    I agree, hate the depth, don’t think Beal is a 50 mil player, and Durant can’t stay healthy.

    So you want to do the same to Blazers by trading 3rd pick to try to win now with 33 year old Dame?

    They did really try to get him, PHX just had a Beal relative or agent relative as an Executive.

    what is with you and your either/or nonsense?

    if you know what it is the Blazers are going to do over the next month, please lets us all know. If you don't know what they are going to do, then for fucksakes quit making absolute arguments

    and LOL at your insistence that Portland can't beat the Suns now. The Blazers won the season series against the Suns 2-1, and that's before the Suns got worse because of a meddling idiot owner

    the Phoenix owner is reminding me of Mikhail Prokhorov who bought the Nets and immediately started making terrible trades for aging players

    and people asking why the Wizards would do this deal need to look at salary. This trade will save them 90M over the Miami offer

    Maybe slightly. Not a huge market for bigs, he’ll make $36m after his opt-in, and he’ll only have one year remaining before he hits free agency.

    actually I bet he would get similar to what Grant got last year: a late first and a 2nd or two.

    remember that earlier on he merely fetched Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans—quite a meh return.

    Oh I know lol. I'm just poking fun at those who said that Butler will land in MIA are now saying Beal will land in MIA.

    Did the Blazers get more for CJ than Washington got for Beal?

    He had a NTC and they got out from his contract. Seems like a win to me.
