The Beal move was such a team killer similar to the Lakers trading for Westbrook. Not so much a knock against Beal/Westbrook but paying max money for a player that has terrible fit with your other 2 stars and trading the rest of your assets/role players to do it is just brain dead management.

When the Suns lost to the Nuggets last year they actually won the most games against the champs of any team. The issue was that once the insane shooting from Booker stopped they didn't have the defense to slow the Nuggets down enough. So why would you then go and trade for a shooting guard that doesn't play good defense and give up your only good point guard to do it?

LMAO

[x] Doubt

no thanks, i’m quite happy not having to watch Beal choke in the 4th anymore.

I'm genuinely curious who he thinks are the only three teams that aren't interested.

That leaves the question of what 3 teams he thinks would not take his roster. Denver, presumably, since they have a championship winning roster. Maybe Boston, since they had the best regular season record. OKC has a young team and was the best in the west?

Maybe he means from a starpower and revenue standpoint? Like you can draw more money with KD and Booker. Than say the Pels but the Pels are seemingly stronger and have a brighter future?.. but no money draw players maybe? Or maybe he's just sipping copium?

So, he is saying that he has a great group of players but everyone around them (coaches, GM, and all the other people he is hiring) are holding them back? That his players would do better if they leave his team ASAP?

Lakers would

I am grateful for them trading Toumani Camara to our team. I love his hustle and defense. Thanks Ishbia!
