Those Beal on/off numbers are misleading imo. He just shouldn't be playing at the same time as Booker.
Beal has a NetRtg of -9.3 because… he’s saddled with Book?

Can you please knock it off with the stupid nickname? The tantrum he’s throwing in Miami isn’t exactly acting like a man.

I’m not going back to look, but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you said when Bledsoe did it.

But when Dragic did it, a lot of people were on his side

I have an idea. Brainstorm for me new nicknames, break it down letter by letter and potential pitfalls, and I'll consider it. You know I love a good fantasy. Maybe develop an algoritHIM. Come up with some HIMformation

Jeremy will be happy to hear that you think Beal is softer than Ayton. :D

I’m sure Brad would man through bruised ribs if he was to ever make a playoff…. Plus you never heard of Brad missing games because of road conditions in D.C.

Yes, I get it. "Jimmy" and "Him" and two letters in common, and you're very IMpressed with yourself for noticing the sIMilarity.

I guess it's natural "locker room" (ugh) behavior. We praise players with names like HIMmy or Big Dick Nurk and express scorn by talking about DA's panties or time of the month or whatever. It's not really a healthy way to express praise and scorn.

Unless you're gay and just swooning, in which case, go ahead.

I still don’t get the amount of hate Beal gets…he’s a terrible fit this year…but that was mostly because we signed Tyus Jones and Nurk became an absolute 💩 of a basketball player.

The offensive fit works…it doesn’t work defensively at all. I don’t think that’s Beals fault. I’ve seen more effort defensively from him than I have Booker. I don’t know what Booker’s deal is this year, but he hasn’t been good. Beal is just small and so are Tyus and Booker. Nurk sucks and KD is 36.

Beal is massively overpaid and he can’t stay healthy…I think those are fair things to complain about…I don’t get complaining about his play on the court.

I also like Beal as a player, probably more than Booker, but he hasn't been anywhere near what he was in Washington because as you said, it's a terrible fit. Also the health has been bad, but that goes for the whole mid 3, I think this team works with either Booker or Beal and KD just fine, probably even better with Beal because he's a better shooter but the redundancy was just too much. If you can defend or rebound because youre too small, it doesn't matter how good your offensive players are.
Love, Hurts.

Milwaukee is a 2nd apron team. No way they can trade for Jimmy unless it’s Dame or Giannis. Memphis was always an interesting team for Jimmy.

I’m hoping for a Jimmy deal to get done but even if it doesn’t, I’m positive Beal is probably gone by deadline. Just seems we are headed for a major shakeup with him.

Detroit with Beal, Thompson, and Cade is a pretty solid little wing trio tbh.
