Trading For Beal BURNED The Suns

- Anthony Edwards took Phoenix's lunch and danced on the Suns' grave during Minnesota's first-round sweep, and that got all the headlines.
But the truth is that the Timberwolves were just a better-built team, and everyone should've seen it coming.
Trading for Bradley Beal absolutely sunk the Suns, and there's nothing they can do about it going forward ... well, almost nothing.

KD: They can't guard us all.
Suns: can't guard at all.
For those who somehow still don't get how historically bad Beal's contract is, here's a list of all NBA players to ever receive a no trade clause in their contract:
Carmelo, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, LeBron, Dirk, David Robinson, Stockton, D Wade.... and Bradley Beal
Interesting they gave one to Stockton and not Malone. Carmelo not quite up there with the others either.
@@akirakurusu4215 Melo's and Stockton's cases are definitely interesting in hindsight, but I can at least respect that those teams had some type of vision at the time, even if they failed (especially Melo). Wizards were going no where and knew they were going no where when they gave Beal that contract
@@akirakurusu4215Stockton lead in assist and steals not interesting at All
There will always be a dunce owner who always thinks he knows what's best for his property and listens to no one, or is a fraud and is easily swayed by the last person who whispers in his ear. Dumbass making dumb choices. Well, congrats, you FAFO.
@@akirakurusu4215 Id take Stockton over Malone all day everyday
As a Nets fan I have to admit it was fun watching The 🌞 implode. The Nets no longer have the worst contract in the league. That title belongs to Beal. 🙂
Been a Phx fan for almost 15 years... this is the first season I really didn't like watching them play. I didn't care they lost either.
I hate teams without an identity. Basketball is a team sport, the team has to have a cohesive game plan. This your turn, my turn, bs offense that teams loaded with starts do is infuriating. It's like they don't know how to make the pieces fit.... maybe you just can't make them fit, in which case it is the GMs fault.
shoutout to Beal's agent, that no trade clause is going to make this situation unsolvable
"I've never been swept a day in my life"
Well Bradley you would have had to have gotten to the playoffs a bunch to even have a chance to get swept 😂
49 playoff games last 4 being swept got me laughing
Beal is a poor man's Lillard. Both charismatic scorers in non-contenders with zero pressure. But when they were given the opportunity to be a part of a championship caliber team, they blew it.
Beal actually charismatic? And Lillard only deserves a bit of the blame as to how this season has gone.
Dame played solid and everyone was injured lol
man Dame hit a few series winning shots as the underdog in Portland, this year the whole bucks team got injured really can’t blame dame for their bad luck.
I remember michael cooper blasting jj redick as poor mans jeff hornacek
Interesting take
The thing in the NBA is oftentimes theres more than 1 team with a problem at once…. and sometimes the solution is trading one problem for another problem. And usually those teams are star heavy but dysfunctional contending teams ie: Lakers, Suns, Heat, Bucks, Sixers, Clippers… I could see Beal going to any of those teams
I could see Beal going to LA and Phoenix getting DLo and some other role players. And then they both get knocked out in the 1st and second rounds of the playoffs again.
They’re a team without anyone to run the offense or give them any sort of identity outside of KD, Booker, and Beal playing the whole “Your turn, my turn” game and winging every possession. They’ve got plenty of talent and skill, with nobody there to direct the team on the court. Absolutely zero defense on that team too
Last point only good one. Thats why they lost. Rest is dumb media narrative to sell a story but they dont believe
Iso kd
Iso book
Iso beal
😂😂😂
Bradley Beal deserved to stay in Washington. He was never good. He just once looked good on a bad team .
Celtics Derrick White > Bradley Beal 🤷♀️
Crazy stupid. Media can have you looking stupid
Underrated channel
As always, theScore crew totally on point with its analysis! Fan since day 1 keep it up 👊🔥🇨🇦
Much appreciated!
The big 3 formula isn't the problem, it's the balance..suns big 3 focused on offense and mostly iso..very little defense
@theScore, must feel nice to say "i told you so" eh? 😄😄
Have been following this channel since a long time, their content is top notch and whenever "Joseph" narrats the video, his narrations makes the video much more fluid.
Suns need a point guard.
I called it at the time as well. Beal isn't only washed, his ridiculous salary is going to be an anchor for the Suns.
It's satisfying watching franchise owners like Mat Isbhia and Steve Ballmer try to buy a title and fail miserably. Mat Ishbia in particular, is on his way to becoming the Jerry Jones of the NBA.
In situations like this, I feel like there should be a penalty on ownership for such frivolous and impulsive decisions.
Love the Mavs font for some of the texts, indicating that Luka is still Book's dad
It’s funny because the raptors got flak for turning down KD. Premium Organizations don’t build teams like it 2k, suns are stupid.
This has mid 2010s nets vibes when they gutted the team for old ass KG
you guys always make excellent content your videos always make my day! 🙌🏾
They were doomed the moment they'd decided to give up on what they had already built and bring in KD and then Beal. The last couple of championship winning teams have proved that you need 2 superstars and have the rest be good role players and specialists to complement them.
This what Durant get for tryna have it easy...you don't need 3 players who NEED the ball to be great....
He is my favorite player but man is he a bad GM
Suns trading for beal was a worse move ever. Wizards fan was so happy when they managed to get out of beal contract despite not having gotten anything back in return. But this already told you how bad beal contract was.
I mean the wizards went from Bradley Beal to Jordan Poole. I think they managed to do worse lol
As a Heat fan, we do NOT WANT KD
but you wanted Dame? plays no defense never won anything.
No better feeling than making a long term prediction and coming out completely right.
Beal totally looked clueless during those interviews.
This big three on paper just did not make sense to me. When Kyrie, KD, and James H were on the Nets on paper made sense, JH handling the ball, KD and Kyrie on opposite sides makes sense on paper. Too bad the pandemic happened.
Trippin. The suns aren’t all doom & gloom. They just need to get a serviceable PG and a good sized PF. Gotta hit on their vet min signings this year. They still have 2 great and 1 really good player to build around. Everyone acts as if the sky is falling but it’s really not
How are they going to get a serviceable PG and a good sized PF with no assets, no cap space, and no mid-level exception? Durant and Booker may be great offensively, but Beal is not "really good" and none of them is good defensively.
I thought the sun would take at least 5 billion years to explode
That’s a traded a toddler would make. Fans needs to start holding these GMs & players accountable
he did not age
Beal doing all that talk then proceeding to play the worst game of basketball in his career with a no trade clause has got to have management feeling like clowns.
As a suns fan...this video made my tummy hurt 😢
wow someone. telling the truth. awesome
shouldve kept bridges and cam no trade for kd nor beal and maybe traded ayton for myles turner
Ishbia screwed his team with some crazy rookie mistakes
I wonder if they could re-negotiate contracts. In this case the players might be open to it if not restricted by CBA.
Yea someone will pay but it never the person signing the checks that end up paying like Jerry Jones
The Suns finals appearance is looking more like a flash in the pan rather than the start of a contender
Wouldve been nice if you reminded us of what suns paid to get beal. Bow im curious
Right from the start Beal is like b angelo Russell or clay Thomson very inconsistent...1 game they are hot the the nxt games they will give u 0
Lesson learned keep team owners away from making basketball decisions.
at some point in the future, i feel Secret Base might make a video about John Wall and B.Beal named "How the wizard spread curses around the NBA"
"Fraud alert"😂
Where’s a new take this in ?
Never went to business school but damn that was a bad decision
This is proof SuperTeams rarely work.
No Point Guard or bench depth hurts.
A mid Coach doesn't help either.
Bridges,payne,cam Johnson, paul,and crowder on defense, and worked on ayton rather than trade for durant,beal,nurkic
He’s never been good thx for catching up rest of nba 😂😂🙏🏾👍🏾
You need to start with was KD worth all of this trouble?
Absolutely. Twins aren’t exactly balling with the Nets. KD was the best asset they could have obtained at that time. Name every single player better than KD (Luka, Jokic…etc.). No chance in hell they could have gotten them.
The big 3 is not dead the issue is most big 3 today are made up of players in redondant positions trying to do the same tjing
I think eveyoone is trying to make a big 3 out of wing players who need to be ball dominate volume scorers
They need Pat Bev 😂😂
I’d trade Beal straight up for Pat Bev at this point.
Biggest mistake of Suns...
Dumbest trade ever. You dont even make that trade in 2K😂
Every1 but suns fan base knew it was stupid.
idk why didnt go for someone like harden where is value was low, like seriously it feels like they purposely did this just to have someone else win lol
Kevin Durant is built like a Great Dane on some Scooby-Doo shit Anthony Edwards is built like a Rottweiler
Arizona is a place to go for low play and more $$$. A pitstop to greater things. Look at the DBacks and Cardinals. Folks come here for a couple of years, get paid alot and then bounce.
What I can’t understand is they had Isiah Thomas who is a damn good ball general and can dish the ball as a true pg which they needed desperately but just let him waste on the bench🤦🏾
God I hope my Knicks doesn't take booker in,
Can i get some HoOoYAH!
KD is damaged goods empty stats at this moment.
I would have traded Beal for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Cameron Payne in a heartbeat.
Where all the delusional Suns fans at?!?! 😂😂😂
i mean decent analysis but they can just wait to trade beal when he’s expiring and just say we’re not brining you back or just let him walk in free agency. the reality is the suns still have 5 first round picks in the next 8 years as it is and that this is beal booker and durants first year together with a brand new coach and roster. they don’t “have” to do anything, just run it back with a few roster and coaching tweaks and build continuity and see if you can do any better than you did this year
that right there is why they will be a poverty team. stop doing coke with ishbia please. they can feasibly sell everything and be all right. but if they wait an extra year or two they put that all at risk .
Beal's has two more year before his contract becomes expiring. By that time Durant's 38 years old. There isn't time to waste for the Suns. The only tweaking they can do right now is sign vet minimum players. They can certainly run it back, but if you think have three overlapping redundant superstars and a bunch of vet minimum players will get you a contending roster, you are truly clueless about basketball.
@@maplenerd22 i didn’t say they’d contend nor that they should just keep minimum players and they have 3 current contracts that aren’t minimums in allen nurkic and little, and oneale who’s expiring, they also have their first round pick this year to use in a trade and let’s not act like they’re THAT redundant. although these players all “take midrange shots” they’re games are more than different enough for them to figure it out. if i was ownership i wouldn’t have done the beal trade but we are where we are. also i eat sleep and breathe basketball bruh
If an up and combing NCAA athlete gearing for NBA, I am hiring Beal’s agent
Or hope Washington drafts you.
grayson allen only good trade nurkic is eh
Nurkic for Ayton was worth it they did good there with Ayton's ridiculous contract and being soft, however, they went from one trash contract to another with Beal
The Suns need to switch players with the Clippers trade Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durrant, Royce O'Neale, Jusuf Nurkic, to the Clippers for James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Kai Jones, Ivica Zubac
Naa...Just Beal for Zubac straight up
Brooklyn got the best deal from the suns
Awooo
no defense soft beal deal bad lmao
NO!!!
Duhh
I’ve been told not to feel bad for millionaire athletes, but I still feel bad for Beal in game 4. That’s the stuff that you can never live down
Until you realize that not even fking Michael Jordan had a no trade clause and that Beal can do whatever he wants over the course of his contract with zero risk of consequences
I feel ya, truly. Beal definitely sold out and has to lay in the bed he made.
run it back see what happens lol
The one who is really overrated is Booker
Last year Luka was his daddy, this year it's Ant
I don’t know why KD keeps thinking he can go to teams without defensive identity or a point guard he can trust. His most successful stints were with top PGs in the league (Westbrook & Curry) along an all defensive Power Forward who could switch easily (Ibaka & Draymond)
Because yes, you can be a 7 foot leading scorer and lead your teams in assists-Kareem did it in Milwaukee. But that’s almost never the path to success, because Kareem’s team was bad when he did that.
If freaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can trust his point guards, why can’t KD?!
Noone is going to talk about how a dark cloud follows KD everywhere he goes? I'm glad he's almost done his career, he just so full of shit and drama, this is first time in over 30 years of watching the NBA where I'm actually looking forward to a player being out of the league
Dats krazy😂
The owner already worse than sarver
Only worse owner was Sterling.
No he's not not even close!
beal got an awful attitude whch makes it worse. he gives off a nick van exe dont give a fuq about losing vibe. dude was laughing on the sidelines while getting swept.
Suns need defense
Could've kept Yuta for that shooting off the bench
Yuta's Trash
trade beal lol
that 2023 flashback video looks suspect.
You must be new here, here's the video you're looking for... czcams.com/video/7ZTSFee3yLg/video.html 🤯
Booker sucks
The Beal trade did nothing but help. People dont get this. Even with CP3's salary off the books the Suns would still be on the second apron, still no cap space. The roster would be the same just with an old CP3 that doesnt even play in the playoffs anyway. Getting Beal was a free upgrade over CP3. They didnt surrender anything other than CP3 and Shamet and some draft swaps that had already been traded so those were really bad drafts anyway. The Suns' demise actually was accelerating the timeline by trading for KD.
Suns after getting KD & Beal have no draft picks until 2031
Suns after getting KD & Beal have no draft picks until 2031
@@dennisetorma729 youre an idiot
Suns have all their 1st rd picks in 24 26 28 30, they are just pick swaps
They traded their 1st's in odd number years
No without CP3 they wouldn't have been over the 2nd apron. They would only have been over the 1st apron. You don't understand. The problem isn't with trading CP3. The problem is trading for Beal because his contract puts them in a complete bind with no flexibility. They would have been better off for trading CP3 for one or two solid role players.
The problem is the suns doesnt know what they are doing. Bookers first playoff appearance was 2021 and they made the nba finals. 2022 2nd round exit. 2023 2nd round exit. 2024 1st round exit. Booker isnt even the one who made a diff to bring the suns in a playoff run. Its CP3. The moment he arrive in phx. They playoff contender to championship contender.
Now they fck up their own team and the owner doesnt believe it.
Talk about sport, not shit
