What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?

[Charlie Smithy!]

My bad guys…this was a fail…I also realize I meant it to be what you expect to happen, not what you would do, but I wasn’t clear…feel free to move along haha

No worries!!

But also, for my chronic pain addled-brain today, do you mind editing each of the responses for brevity and/or clarity? Then, and only then, will I be able to give you the honest response that you deserve!!

They aren't gonna trade it, nobody wants it, they have to stretch it. And I believe getting rid of him via stretch gets the team out of both aprons, I could be wrong. It's the simplest way forward. Would it be better just to let him expire? In financial terms yes, of you want to just call your roster as is, you sit him and deal with the players association killing you for doing so, not great for a team looking to big FA hunting in a couple of years. Its better to stretch him to get his stink off the roster and it allows you to make a lot more moves once you're under both aprons.

We can’t go big FA hunting in a couple of years if we have a $19M cap hit.

The simplest option is to buy him out, waive him, and not stretch the contract.

This still hasn't happened? Gambo was off on the timing. He said (from Italy) that it would happen by now.

He’s got 9 more hours:

Not likely to happen overnight.

Maybe I'm just being naively optimistic, but I'm hoping the delay in getting Beal waived is because maybe there's something other than a buyout coming. Maybe there's some sort of trade possibility out there? I still think the waive and stretch is short-sighted... we don't have a Myles Turner signing waiting in the wings. Unless you've got a move lined up, where's the rush to get rid of a guy, who, at worst, you can still bring off the bench and get 20 a night out of?

Well how would you feel about a S&T for Kuminga?
