REPORTS: Bradley Beal COULD STILL BE TRADED By Phoenix Suns



REPORTS: Bradley Beal COULD STILL BE TRADED By Phoenix Suns

you can imagine that Bradley Beal would wave his no trade clause to go to yes Unequivity yes Here’s the thing Um it’s June 22nd now If you told me right now uh Eric yo listen Yo dog This is what we’re playing with This is our team I would tell you catastrophic failure No way we can do this if this is if I knew for certain this is all we were going to do and this is how it’s going to play But I know that not to be true I know that through conversations that I’ve had behind the scenes during this entire Kevin Durant process that the Suns were not only talking to teams about the KV trade but they were lining up other things Okay which is interesting as to why five second round picks right Um I’m very intrigued by that because I I I think I have information that tells me there’s a very good reason why they were shooting for the five second round picks right I’m not going to press you Flex but Is that something you you could share right now or is that something not yet Yeah I I’ll tell you this Um there was a chance the Suns could have got another first Okay And they opted for 5 seconds Okay They said hold the first give me five seconds Okay So you got three I I believe you have three first round picks and eight second round picks going forward You got teams that are interested in Brad Okay that there are teams interested in Brad Beal Man I I’m gonna say this right here on the show and you can clip this and bring it back I do not I do not believe Brad is getting bought out I believe there is a deal that the Suns can make that will get Brad Bill off this roster I believe there are a couple things that have happened to some particular teams Um I believe there’s there’s basketball business that’s happening that is gonna is going to put us in a situation where you could potentially move Brad attach some of that equal for what I’m calling is one year So everybody keeps saying two years but what I’m saying is you just got to get that team has to be okay with Brad for one year and then the following year he’s a a very good expensive expiring contract So I know for a fact there’s two or three teams okay that have had Go ahead talk to me Well no I first of all shocked that there are two or three teams that might be interested in Bradley Beal Two yeah are and and I’m not going to ask you specific teams because I know that that that’s not what we’re going to talk about here Are these teams that you can imagine and and I’m not asking you if you’ve checked on this that you can imagine that Bradley Beal would wave his no trade clause to go to Yes Yes Unequivity Yes You’re giving me hope man You’re giving me hope I’m telling this is why everybody’s going crazy and I’m I’m like listen there’s too much that I’ve heard and had discussions about behind the scenes for me to ignore my hear my ears can’t unhear it right So I know I know there’s a situation where Brad uh can’t get traded I know these are situations that Brad will wade the no trade clause I know Brad wants to play brother I know Brad wants to play Brad Brad knows you’re still a good basketball player but Brad also is understanding this is a transition bro Now you’re behind Devin Booker and Jaylen Green Staying here doesn’t make sense brother It just doesn’t And if I sat you on the bench and and I’m I’m speaking respectfully because I got a lot of love and respect for Rabio but if I sat you on the bench this year you better believe next year’s and you’re in a worse situation in regards to the pecking order in in the back court This isn’t Tus Jones now So so think about the perspective of Brad’s career his contract his his desire to to get another contract his desire to prove that this wasn’t a a catastrophic like bomb and that he’s still a good basketball player So I believe they’re going to trade Brad I believe that they’re going to trade that Brad for a better package than people think I’m not telling you we’re going to get an NBA Allstar but I’m telling you that some of these holes we’re worried about um could get resolved in this Brad Bill trade I’m telling you that the team that’s going to potentially trade for Bradio is a team that is right now in a little bit of a flux because of a injury and because of financials Okay And and and they’re very intrigued uh by saying you know we could free up some of these contracts We’re not winning next year Um there’s some financials behind the scenes that people don’t know about Okay let’s talk Let’s get let’s get a deal done And you may find you may actually find your point guard There’s people saying Book and Jaylen Green are playing together I’m not sold on that I still I believe Jaylen Green might be a hell of a six-man on this team I believe the Suns can get another point guard that benefits this and now you have Jaylen Green coming off the bench as a six-man I think they’ll address the center position Okay I know there’s some free agents that are within the Suns range that are veterans that are going to get vet minimum deals that I know one in particular that was just in Phoenix a couple days ago giving me hope Okay So yeah man There’s a lot to discuss brother I don’t think you judge this on June 22nd I think you take Jaylen Green Dylan Brooks the 10th pick five second round picks the now flexibility that you have because you had Katie’s one contract now you’ve broken them up into a couple other separate deals Okay you take that you take your new assets and draft capital and you move on to Brad Bill not to mention this incredible fun couple days we’re gonna have on Wednesday and Thursday because I’m excited You know I love draft time baby I’m excited I mean you just you just dropped a flex bomb on PHNX Suns man It took you all of 15 minutes to get back here and just completely just change I I think a lot of people in the chat are saying man like you what what you’re saying it really does change everything And obviously you know I I want to give you a little breathing room and say like things change in the NBA right I don’t want people to leave here and be like hey you know that’s totally going to happen But you know if I’m deducing here I’m not going to say the exact team but maybe this team wants to sell ticks you know maybe they wanna you know sell out you know an arena right You know so I I I think I think it’s interesting Flex I I think it’s interesting man I’m I’m telling you brother listen a team I I I’ll throw some Listen um I there’s some bottom feeders There’s some bottom feeders There’s teams like Charlotte that are poking around that I’ve heard a lot of discussion about a team I’m very interested okay that I need I I I really need everybody to monitor this team and particularly with with some of the situation the Suns are in right now Pay attention to Boston Pay close attention to the Boston Celtics man Um I I’m telling you where the smoke that’s fired in this business when you keep having phone calls you keep hearing the same names you keep hearing the same team brought up um there’s typically something to that right Um I I don’t want to get into you know I’m not a a toot my own horn victory lap type of dude but if if you paid attention I was telling people before the Desmond Bane thing I’m here in Memphis man They’re talking about some of these players They’re having some conversations and they pulled the trigger with Orlando right Uh Boston is a team that again they lost they lost Jason Tatum’s out for the year Okay they’re they they just got new ownership Okay that owner doesn’t want to pay all this all this money All right um they’ve got some contracts that they’re looking at and saying you know maybe maybe we can move on So pay attention to them Um there’s just too much going on So again you can’t judge this on face value Today was step number one Uh the draft is very intriguing because I I believe the Suns have some options to do a lot of shaking and baking on Wednesday and Thursday now with some prospects that I really like Um and so yeah brother I’m gonna tell you right now I’m excited about what the Suns just did I think um I think there’s some things that can happen [Applause] [Music]

  1. Flex is a joke. Every single time he speaks he says things in a predictable formula that attempts to showcase he knows a lot but reality is he's simply throwing spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks. Can't believe people still interview him. Also hilarious how he says he's "retired" now, wasn't even a credentialed journalist. Dude just makes predictions and hopes they are correct

  2. There’s nobody in the history of PHX Suns local sports media who is more comically wrong than flex

  3. Tell him, we’re not playing you. You either sit at the end of bench or waive your NTC somewhere and if you have go get a toxic contract back of someone who fits. But it’s not that hard to tell him that

  4. Lol you delusional as always😂 beal has a no trade clause on his contract! Stop fooling yourself and the suns fans just for you to have a new content.

  5. At this point, just sit his ass!! Better yet, just tell him to stay his ass home and eat the dam contract. Accept the results of a trade that we never should've done but at this point, we cant be having 20mil on the books for the next 5years just to buy his ass out and we also cant be trading 1st rounders to off load bradley bum. Them Cleveland picks might became more valuable than we think.

  6. Trading KD and then using assets we got from it just to get rid of Beal is absolute mismanagement of assets and the reason we’re in this situation to begin with. BUY HIM OUT and eat the money. Either way you harm your future but a buyout gives us a better chance to fix the roster in the now and that’s all that matters.

  7. Why on earth can't one person ask the question, "Has Beal provided the Sun's with a list of teams he is willing to wave his no trade clause to go to?".

  8. Unfortunately the trade that you're talking about, may have already happened with the Blazers.

  9. FLEX 💪 ❤ My guy!! I haven't watched the pod since you and Lyndsey were no longer on the show. Phnx lost a great crew 💯 ✌️

  10. What team is going to want to trade for Bradley Beal? It will likely take a first round pick to get off that contract.

  11. Bucks fan here, I have seen rumors that the Bucks could be interested in Beal, The only way I would be ok doing it is if the Suns included a First round pick, amd maybe a second round pick.

  12. I stopped watching when Flex was part and completely stopped once Lindsey stopped being a part. PHNX Cards are better and don't try to put sugar on a turd

  13. When we had KD I really wanted Beal to be moved. Now that he's gone… I'm kind of indifferent. We're going to be dog water for probably the next decade, who cares if Beal is on the team while we're bad? I certainly don't want to give up any picks/assets to move him. In the extremely unlikely case some one actually wants him, straight up, for some useless players on expiring contracts, I'm down with that, even more so if they're just enough below Beal's contract to get us out of the second apron this year too while still qualifying as "matching" contracts. But if some one wants picks to take him, I very much do not want us to continue mortgaging our future, when we have no present whether Beal is here or not.

  14. Notable players Suns can sign at vet's minimum

    Tyus Jones (again)
    Spencer Dinwiddie
    Guerschon Yabusele
    Tim Hardaway Jr.
    Dennis Schröder
    Clint Capela
    Brook Lopez
    Cam Payne
    Delon Wright
    Kyle Lowry
    Lonnie Walker IV

  15. You trade Beal even if it costs a pick.. start fresh since he’s a toxic asset because of that trade clause.

  16. Lol he had to say Boston. They just traded Jrue Holiday for a younger much better player than Beal who has half his contract. Keep it vague dude.

  17. Nobody would ever ask for 5 second rounders when they could have a first. This is the dumbest take in the history of sports. Dude sitting over here thinking he's Stephen A Smith dropping brand new information.
