He was willing to waive his ntc for Heat Lakers and nuggets earlier this year so that those might be the finalist. I still think the Bucks make the most sense for him though

Go to the Bucks and make noise in the East.

Stretching his contract would be stupid

Booker has no problem being on a losing team. Since his team has leaked no information about his concern for the current state of the franchise

Just run the next two seasons. Be the 13th seed. Then move on
They dont own their picks. Being bad serves no purpose

I don't understand Suns buying him out and fukking up their cap space for future years. Bucks did it to compete with Giannis. Suns can wait, is not like buying out Beal will get them better free agents.


They’re adamant about doing a full blown culture change and Beal simply cannot be a part of this team moving forward for that to happen. They were by no means gonna have him on that 25-26 roster

I’m not thrilled with the 5 year cap hit, but if there was any other way to get rid of him, they woulda been did it :hubie:

And I think we’re really seeing how desperate teams are to get under these aprons. :francis: I wonder if this will be a trend. A lot less big money is gonna be tossed around.

It's very short thinking, I would rather him be there crying for 2 years than his salary for 5 years, this will limit the Suns a lot if they want to rebuild around Book. I am sure eventually Beal would have agreed to a trade unless he wanted threats by fans every day for next 2 years.

I just don't like this, with Bucks they at least got Myles Turner. Suns are not getting any free agent for doing this.

I say no only because the two teams we've seen do it thus far are two who completely fukked up their future with win now moves and are now having to put themselves deeper in the hole to try and get out of it.

The problem with it and we're already seeing it talked about now is what happens if the cap doesn't jump the yearly percentage that everyone is expecting it to?

Booker's gonna be 29 by the beginning of next year. Not old, but not young anymore either. I understand getting under both aprons gives them latitude to make some moves if they want to 'compete' going forward.

I do agree, long term it makes more sense to just send Beal home for 2 years but I do get why they don't want to completely sacrifice 2 prime years of Booker on this.
