    Washington is blowing up the team. Beal is the perfect player for this system. Who are you willing to part ways with (besides the 4 draft picks) to potentially get Beal?

    I dont see a deal for Beal unless Washington is willing to take back trash. I see more than one team with better assets to offer Washington.

    Unless the names Harden or Capela are involved were not getting Beal. No way no how. So in others it’s not happening.

    In what way is Washington “blowing up the team”?

    I don't mean to be disrespectful, but Beal is slightly better than a younger Eric Gordon partly because he is 6'5''
    instead of being 6'3". I don't believe he is an enormous game changer.

    Four 1st rounders is something you give up for Lebron. Not for Beal or Jimmy Butler. I would appreciate your comments as to why do you think Beal is needed on the Rockets.

    We have been over this.... wiz can do better. They aren’t trading him to us. There could be an outside chance for porter, but mavs and kings have shown interest and could probably put together better offers.

    I don't think we can make any deal to get Beal unless it includes Harden, which doesn't make any sense either.

    The Lakers can offer a kings ransom for Beal. We can offer what, Knight and Gordon? lmfao

    He is an all-star.
    He’s only 25
    He’s locked down under contract
    He spreads the floor
    He can create his own shot
    He would arguably be the best player harden has ever played with in a rocket uniform (cp3 though very good is past his prime)
    He will player even better in situation he is actually happy.

    This would be a no brainer for the rockets, but there is no way they trade him here. They can do better than 4 picks and scrubs. They want some legit talent back plus a couple picks.

    Wizards play every year like they are blowing it up.

    duh but apparently the Wizards are asking the entire barn for him...

    We're probably looking at 4 future 1sts unprotected + some young talent. They think he's more valuable than Jimmy Butler.

    Wizards want firsts and young talent for Beal. He’s not coming here.

    I think they'll make a play for Beal simply because of the name. However, Rivers is filling in nicely!

    NOpe, OP just feels he is special and that his random trade ideas should be featured outside of the main thread they are designated for.

    Beal could have been a very good partner for Harden if Chris was not a Rocket.

    I believe we need a long 4/3 with a healthy Chris and James, who can be a threat to Durant, Draymond and to Lebron. The Rockets should look for strong role players to cover these spots. A big rebounder/ defender would be nice too.
