No one said Milwaukee is doing it or not doing it. Beal can put up 20 points a night easy. He would be a quality add to any team. Rockets fans would be doing cartwheels down the road if the Rockets brought in Beal. Beal would never waive is no trade clause for Houston though. He wants to play for a contender. As I said elsewhere here, I like the Bucks roster as is. But adding Beal isn't something that would hurt. We shall see what the Bucks do or don't do by the trade deadline. Stop being jealous that Houston are basically sellers with nothing to sell.
NO FR*CKING WAY Beal is CJ McCollum with a contract A big ole nothing burger IMO If the Rockets Traded for him I'd curse up a storm Rocket River
Everyone thinks they have stuff to sell, the problem is when no one wants to buy what you are selling. The contenders are working on possible deals to bring in players for a run at a title. The Rockets are not. That pretty much tells you all you need to know. As I said several times, the Bucks may make moves or not make moves at the deadline. I like the roster as is. Would I trade Khris "Cash Money" Middleton for Beal? No. But bringing in Beal for any team contending would be a positive. Now some of the trolls here don't know what to do. They claim Beal sucks, but now need to say he is better than Middleton. Proven that it's all just jealousy of the Bucks and attempting to discredit anything involving Milwaukee. Carry on haters, carry on..
It's a fit issue, isn't it? Bradley needs the ball in his hands. So does Lilliard and Giannis. Using Bradley as a spot up shooter is not going to help anybody. Doc Rivers is not a creative coach offensively, so I can see this not working so well for the Bucks if they made the trade. They would lose depth (they have to trade a few players to make the deal work). What does a trade for Beal look like? First they have to trade Pat to somebody that will take him with less than $6.5 million coming back the Bucks way. 2nd, since you aren't trading Lilliard or Giannis, you have to likely trade Lopez/Middleton to make the numbers work for a contract as large as Beal. So those are 3 players the Bucks are trading for 1. Seems like a lot of capital to give up for Beal. I think Beal has been severely underrated due to his large salary, but at the same time, he does need a large role in the offense to make things work. I think that's the issue with the Suns, that when all three play, they have to have the ball in their hand, eventually they put Beal on the bench to provide some balance to the line up. The other issue is that Beal isn't a strong defender. Middleton seems to have hit that point where he starts going downhill, but man, it feels like he is more serviceable than Beal to the Bucks (not as an overall player).
Beal's agent is saying "not so fast y'all". 15 minutes ago.... https://www.azcentral.com/story/spo...t-addresses-no-trade-clause-suns/77884295007/
LOL. Agent talk is hilarious. Of course he is spinning it for the reason of trying to get the best deal for his client. The fact you posted this cracks me up. Thank you for the laugh. Speculating what will happen by the trade deadline is a fools errand.
Beal isn't better than Middleton if both are healthy. Middleton is a much better defender. Now if you acquire Beal to be an instant offense guy off the bench and he's healthy, then there's value in that. Disagree about the Rockets. Young guys like Jabbari/Eason/Whitmore would have great value to a team like say the Suns. Picks would also have a lot of value. Now to a team like the Bucks the young players/picks wouldn't have as much value.
I am not here to discredit the Rockets roster. I just don't really see them doing much of anything at the deadline. That isn't a bad thing. As far as Middleton goes, we agree that he is more valuable to the Bucks than Beal would be. I am saying Beal would bring value to any contending team. Sure, he would be a better fit some places, but anywhere he ends up I don't feel it will be a complete disaster for that team. One more thing on Khris, he and Giannis are very very close. They have been together since 2013. Giannis has said many times he would want to play with Khris his whole career. I am very sure Giannis is involved in any talk of getting rid of Khris. We will see what happens, but Giannis and I are more for keeping "Cash" in Milwaukee.
If the suns find a sucker to take on Beal, that's a massive credit to them. They don't have enough assets to make it actually worthwhile (2 unprotected picks?), so if they can dump him for one crappy 1st, wow.
beal should go to the warriers. imagine curry, beal, klay, podz. nonstop shooting all day all night all the time.
