All this just to beat Christian Braun
Beal and KD will play a total of like three games together
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suns after having no depth in the playoffs – let’s eliminate all our depth to get even more top heavy.
I’d imagine they’ll need to offload Ayton now to shore up the rest of their roster
Beal will take shots away from KD and Book and I’m all for that.
Super teams are for bitches
Nuggets in 6
LMFAO what getting dad-dicked by a 7 foot obese Serbian does to you
Nuggets in 5
Can he guard Jokic? Nuggets in 6 again lol.
Lmao Beal was actually a problem in my mind but not anymore this looks funky
All this just to beat Bruce Brown smh
As much as I’m confident in our group, this does have the potential to make them really scary. If they can unload Ayton for a couple playable pieces, they could have a solid rotation come playoff time.
I’m even less scared of the Suns after this move.
Like, this is how they improve?
Plus, they now have Beal and his $50M+ no-trade anchor around their necks for 4 years that they won’t be able to unload and kill their cap.
Good god, are we sure Ishbia is a good businessman?
How often do kd superteams work out? Not scared at all
We’re fine in the West
This makes no sense. You have three guys that all do the same thing. Take mid range shots at volume and play shaky defense. Good luck Suns fans.
Look what they need just to mimic our power
Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.
Will be a repeat of 2021 nets where a star (or 2) gets injured cuz of workload. Both the finals teams this year showed the blueprint that superteams dont win championships anymore in this age. The suns are dumbasses
This doesn’t move their needle at all. There’s only one basketball, and this does nothing to address defense and depth. This arguably makes that worse.
The best that can be said of this deal is that they didn’t have to give up a whole lot for it (sucks for the Wizards). But the new CBA will still rail them, and on the court no existing problems fixed.
Still no answer for the Serb Reaper! Nuggets in 2!
Lol how the fuck do they think that this is the answer? We’re winning the west again for sure.
Only 1 ball.
Nuggets had a +59 in their 4 wins. Beal ain’t fixing that gap.
Ishba is Cuban 2.0
2 Spooky 4 Me
JFC. Deja Vu to the Durant trade.
Bring it on Suns. We do need a little competition to keep it interesting. It *won’t* be enough.
This shit is so funny, Beal is basically replacing Bridges but is 5 inches shorter, worse on defense & rebounding and where Bridges played 83 games in this 82 game season Beal hasn’t played more than 60 in 5 seasons. Oh and his contract is double Bridges
Yeah still not scared of phoenix
That’s a lot for a injuries prone player and yes I know he was on the wizards but he seemed to be injuries every year but there getting rid of another injury prone player in Chris Paul as well.
Lol that is a terrible haul for WAS. I guess bad front offices continue to be bad.
Suns are going to be overrated to all hell for a team with no depth, no defense and no off ball players
Suns needed an inside presence – not another scorer
I can’t think of a single playoff team where Beals skillset is more redundant. Also who is going to run their offense? Booker? Don’t get it from Washington either. I know his contract was terrible, but effectively an expiring plus a bunch of seconds feels like a trash return. At least Miami could offer a first in this loaded draft. Of Beal says no just tell him its either Miami or staying put, I doubt he would prefer that.
Their fans are already crowning themselves champions lmao. It’s like no one learns anything from the continued existence of the San Diego Padres.
This trade makes negative sense.
The Suns literally have 5 players under contract for next season lol. Barring an Ayton trade, above $160 million.
