Would be a very bad move for a rebuilding team to pay to move Beal’s contract.

Just wait until it is expiring, or let it come off the books.

The Suns have nothing to offer a rebuilding team to take him though

The Suns are a rebuilding team.

I am saying once they deal Booker and KD, they just need to ride it out with Beal.

Would be stupid to collect assets only to use them to move Beal.

That is a sunk cost.

I think we are saying the same thing

My last post made look at the numbers and I have to give the nba/refs credit

This will be b2b seasons where there is only 1player at over 9 fts per game. Back in 2023 we had 5

Larry Bird at whatever age he is is still better than them all.

That's what concerns me most re: the Lakers possibly facing them in the playoffs.

I think the Lakers are better overall with Luka instead of AD...but AD is a post presence that OKC struggled some against.

So, they're better against most of the rest of the league, but a little worse against the team they're likely to have to go through if they make the WCF.

I like Jaxson Hayes...but he ain't causing Hartenstein or Chet any sleepless nights. lol

I think that is going to be the main priority for the Lakers this offseason - get a starting Center

I think Jax really stepped up to the plate filling in for AD, but he's more of a role player than a starter.

They also need to work on keeping the team together to run it back, Lebron and Finney-Smith are the only two players with a player option this offseason and I can see them both come back. Goodwin is on a team option and should be back too.

Kief, Alex Len and probably Maxi will be outta here next season.

Even if they only get another half-game player like Jax or a bit better, that would work. The two could split games evenly. All depends on who they're willing to give up in trade (and what draft capital).

Getting that in before they're revealed to be 1/64th black and claimed in the Racial Draft.

The lack of aggressiveness I spoke about when he was in Miami. Happens too frequently in the regular season imo
