I'd probably feel the same way if I was him.
But I'm a fan. So fuck off Brad

He’d be fine in LA…. BEAL FOR BRON. Beal would compliment Luka far more than LeBron. Heck well even give them nurk too.

It doesn't sound like Beal is going anywhere to me. He is the captain of his ship.

Throw his ass overboard.
No fans, regardless of what direction you want the suns to take, actually want him on this team. How could he look at that and want to stay here when no one likes him?

Ben Simmons has been doing it fine for a few years now, no matter what team he’s on.

You are projecting there, buddy. Beal is a great community guy. He has gone to the bench without kicking and screaming. He is mostly loved by his teammates, fans, and community.

This is why you don't trade for a no trade clause

I'm fine with him in a bench role, at least in the short term, if he's buying in. He might be this generation's version of Jason Terry.

Well, we really don't have a choice. How many years does he have remaining? Two more?

So you want him here?
Every fan wants him traded off that contract.

I want a championship. If I wanted a community guy I'd vouch for us to sign Barbosa to a 20 year deal now.

Is Brad aware if he sticks around we’re likely going to rebuild? Does he really want to be a part of that again? I think he’d waive it for the right destination. I just fear we may be stuck with him regardless.

The dude doesn't give two shits about the product on the court. It's why he stayed in Washington for so long. They over paid him since they had no one else and he was happy collecting checks and taking Ls for his family.
Hes a smaller DA

Nah. It’s bs. No universe where we would keep talking to Miami to get a Jimmy deal if we knew there was any chance Beal would kill it. If he was so intent on staying, this Jimmy pursuit would long be over. It’s clear hes down to be traded.

This is basically where I am about it as well. The Suns’ pursuit of Butler would have died off long ago if they weren’t in constant communication with Beal regarding a trade. Now whether the deal occurs or not I’m not sure, but talks would almost certainly not have continued for this long if it was dead on arrival this whole time.

Exactly.
