Trading For Beal BURNED The Suns
Anthony Edwards took Phoenix’s lunch and danced on the Suns’ grave during Minnesota’s first-round sweep, and that got all the headlines.
But the truth is that the Timberwolves were just a better-built team, and everyone should’ve seen it coming.
Trading for Bradley Beal absolutely sunk the Suns, and there’s nothing they can do about it going forward … well, almost nothing.

Duhh
Bradley Beal deserved to stay in Washington. He was never good. He just once looked good on a bad team .
Celtics Derrick White > Bradley Beal ๐คทโโ๏ธ
he did not age
Booker sucks
God I hope my Knicks doesn't take booker in,
Heโs never been good thx for catching up rest of nba ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐พ
As always, theScore crew totally on point with it's analysis! Fan since day 1 keep it up ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฆ
Iโve been told not to feel bad for millionaire athletes, but I still feel bad for Beal in game 4. Thatโs the stuff that you can never live down
that 2023 flashback video looks suspect.
Where all the delusional Suns fans at?!?! ๐๐๐
This is so satisfying to watch. I'm happy because I predicted Minnesota to go through. Fuck KD!
Can i get some HoOoYAH!
This has mid 2010s nets vibes when they gutted the team for old ass KG
For those who somehow still don't get how historically bad Beal's contract is, here's a list of all NBA players to ever receive a no trade clause in their contract:
Carmelo, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, LeBron, Dirk, David Robinson, Stockton, D Wade…. and Bradley Beal
Beal is a poor man's Lillard. Both charismatic scorers in non-contenders with zero pressure. But when they were given the opportunity to be a part of a championship caliber team, they blew it.
Theyโre a team without anyone to run the offense or give them any sort of identity outside of KD, Booker, and Beal playing the whole โYour turn, my turnโ game and winging every possession. Theyโve got plenty of talent and skill, with nobody there to direct the team on the court. Absolutely zero defense on that team too
Dumbest trade ever. You dont even make that trade in 2K๐
Noone is going to talk about how a dark cloud follows KD everywhere he goes? I'm glad he's almost done his career, he just so full of shit and drama, this is first time in over 30 years of watching the NBA where I'm actually looking forward to a player being out of the league
Talk about sport, not shit
idk why didnt go for someone like harden where is value was low, like seriously it feels like they purposely did this just to have someone else win lol
Every1 but suns fan base knew it was stupid.
Yea someone will pay but it never the person signing the checks that end up paying like Jerry Jones
The one who is really overrated is Booker
If an up and combing NCAA athlete gearing for NBA, I am hiring Bealโs agent
The Beal trade did nothing but help. People dont get this. Even with CP3's salary off the books the Suns would still be on the second apron, still no cap space. The roster would be the same just with an old CP3 that doesnt even play in the playoffs anyway. Getting Beal was a free upgrade over CP3. They didnt surrender anything other than CP3 and Shamet and some draft swaps that had already been traded so those were really bad drafts anyway. The Suns' demise actually was accelerating the timeline by trading for KD.
Beal doing all that talk then proceeding to play the worst game of basketball in his career with a no trade clause has got to have management feeling like clowns.
