NYRaider Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) What type of package would Dame go for? A lot of chatter about the Heat right now. Does Herro / Jovic / Duncan and picks get it done? Edited June 19, 2023 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Lowry/Duncan/picks offer was much better even if it was just a 1st and a 2nd. They still might have anyway. Beal chose the Suns.

The Blazers will want to do Dame right and if he wants Miami, that's where he will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I actually hope Dame goes to Miami. That'd be a fun fit. Then let chaos commence. Zion gets moved. KAT. Harden. Lavine. Let's see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Apparently trading a dude who didn't help the Suns in the playoffs and a dude who was a negative in the playoffs for Bradley Beal doesn't help the Suns. Like 95% of the bball ppl who I follow say this is a nothing trade lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dude is an injury prone score-first playoff underachiever, who quit playing defense years ago, isn't a leader, and whose skillset is not maximized on the Suns in the slightest. I'd still take Denver over them without thinking about it. Edited June 19, 2023 by Mox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has basically only had one major injury in his career. In the rest days era that is probably a normal amount of gms to miss for a #1 option.

Sllim Pickens Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 If Beal doesn't improve his defense and his average drops to the low 20s, which is likely, then his value is absolutely horrible. I expect the Suns to regret this deal mid-way through the season when KD starts complaining about them being the 5 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I could've sworn he missed over 20+ games before the last stretch of the year, as well double-digit games both of those shortened seasons. Oh wait, he did.

This isn't 2K. he is a lot better fit than cp3. cp3 won't shoot the basketball unless it is a middie off a pnr. it was easy to help off cp3 cause unless no one closes out at all he won't shoot a C&S shot. beal also averaged more drives per gm than giannis, jimmy butler, fox, booker, siakam, harden, westbrook, donovan mitchell, ant edwards, etc last year. he finished 9th in drives per game. something the suns desperately lacked with cp3. i saw beal was 41% on c&s 3s over the last 5 szns. he also finished 2nd in scoring 2x in the last 4 szns. he's 1 of 7 players who have averaged 8 fts per gm and 8 3s attempted per game in a szn in nba history. again two areas of weaknesses for the suns. ppl think the suns don't need more offense but in the 4 losses v denver the most points they scored was 107, they averaged 99 points in those gms. all 3 of booker, kd, and beal are great catch and shoot shooters and know to play off ball. it it a great fit offensively w/o question.
