Can we talk about Bradley Beal being a bum?

[FTBS]

This is correct. He doesn’t want to move his family all around the country, he has small kids.


We often forget there’s a human component to sports.. I don’t blame him if he’s settled in Arizona. He negotiated the NTC, it’s his prerogative to use it

Or he may not want to go to those specific teams/cities. You look at all these discussions and people talk about what is good for PHX, what is good for KD, for Butler, for Miami, GSW etc. No one gives a fukk about what Beal wants...except Beal and he holds all the cards .

Let’s be real. He and his family were in Phoenix for like 6 months when he was talking that I’m settled shyt. This isn’t someone with kids enrolled in the school system who have made long term friends. He and his family like Phoenix weather and he doesn’t give a fukk about winning. I don’t see what you or @FTBS or @ALonelyDad respect about that shyt at all. Dude plays no defense and plays with no passion. He came to Phoenix purportedly because he wanted to win and now he plays every 2 games and acts like he doesn’t care while he’s out there and you guys are like oh well he has a NTC and got paid. I’m starting to question if this shyt is about not giving a fukk about KD and Book more than looking at this shyt objectively.

He looks washed because he’s not committed to playing winning basketball or doing the little shyt or being dynamic. They have a negative plus minus with him in EVERY line up. Guys with half his talent like Tyus Jones have outplayed him. Dude doesn’t give a fukk and is a loser. I can respect what he negotiated without respecting what he’s doing out there on the court. Phoenix’s blame should be on not making him remove that NTC permanently. It should not have traveled with him. Do you know why people empathize with those other guys? They look like they give a fukk on the court. Bradley Beal is the first player with kids? Kids barely old enough to ride a bike? Like what the fukk are we talking about? @ALonelyDad sounds like a dude who does the bare minimum at every job he has and the. When he gets criticized and put on a performance improvement plan he starts crying and says “but I got mouths to feed.”

Anybody that outplays the owners at their own game gets my respect . Again we blaming players for shytty ownership. He shouldnt be there in the first place if you trying to win. You knew he had a NTC, and played 50 games a year, and his skillset didnt fit with the guys you already had, and he played one end of the court when you got him. All vitriol needs to be directed at ownership.

Exactly... why would anyone be upset when you trade for Bradley Beal and you get Bradley Beal

I actually think he's been pretty professional about the whole thing. He didn't even bytch much when he got benched for Jones(who proved he isn't an NBA starter). If you ask me, Beal gives more of a fukk about things than KD or Booker does. Those nikkas be on the court and look like they're on Ambien

Need to get rid of guaranteed contracts.

I think this the only answer to get the product of the league back up. With non guaranteed contracts you won’t have Ja running around using air guns and throwing air grenades into the crowd cause nikkas would know that playing like that would get their contracts cut.

Michael Porter Jr and Jamall Murray looking real funny with their max deals too. Great players, I like the brothas too but 35-45 million a year money for great role players? It got Mike Malone fired for how mediocre these nikkas are and not matching their salary output. These nikkas get paid and stop giving a fukk, especially if they get a chip

That was just poor decision making. MPJ had three back surgeries before age 25, giving him 170 million dollars was crazy.

Murray just looks like a completely different player after injury and now he's having trouble staying healthy. Maybe the smart play was to let him walk but it's hard to do that with the second best guy on team that won a title fairly recently

Which is why non guaranteed contracts work great here. You can now cut these nikkas for underperforming and being injured/not living up to their salary output

Why are nikkas (not you) so against this in the NBA? They still getting paid millions of dollars every year and if they perform they’ll get their full contracts.

Maybe add a clause that the GM still has to pay a percentage of the salary as a bonus if getting cut but that’s it.

I was watching Kenyon Martin on Shay and Chad show a couple nights ago and he said players only care about minutes and money, nothing else. Especially these new nikkas that’s been coddled their whole lives and they milking the league because of it

I agree some of these guys have zero drive to work once they get that first big contract but going from guaranteed deals to non-guaranteed(or even partially guaranteed) for most of the NBA is going to be a hill that the NBAPA dies on. We're talking an 18+ month work stoppage

What do owners care about? How hard have they had it? What happens when they underperform? Look at how many teams are either incompetent or :manny; and everybody is worth billions nonethless and unlike players they arent putting themselves at risk with a limited shelf life. Owners dont hesitate to pay these dudes but get a thousand pleas went it doesnt work out. The people responsible for any and all issues with the product (yes...including load management) are owners.
