I'd be somewhat shocked if he plays at all this year Personally, I hope he sits for the season...but the recovery is 11-15 months. Might see him out there next year.... 31 minutes ago, Hersh said: I’m sorry, but this is a terrible situation. Beal should not be this involved. That’s the sign of a weak ass front office and owner. Oh, if the front office doesn’t consider every single scenario and opportunity, they are worthless “Not at all," Sheppard told The Athletic in regard to trading Beal. "It's never crossed our mind. Bradley is somebody we're building around. He's been involved with everything we're doing in the draft, free agency. We need his opinion. We want this team to be a reflection of what he is all about." I think this is all politician speak. They'd be idiots to not field offers. What incentive does Beal have to stay here? This is a hopeless situation that will see him squander his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a little overboard to me and pretty specific to the point that isn't something I like hearing from a front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The grass isn't always greener on the outside. I think Beal likes it here and wants to win here and qualify for a supermax here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Beal is not worth two first round picks. He's good, he is not a star attraction...except in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most first round picks become mediocre role players, damn near every allstar in the league is worth more than two first round picks. What drives their price down is when the team is forced to trade them because they have signaled they are leaving or wish to leave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 This isn't football where first rounders are valued like gold and even a monster like Khalil Mack only fetches two. In the NBA even good role players go for first rounders. A young star on a good contract like Beal? Hell I'd ask for four firsts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volsmet Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 @stevemcqueen1 from the few people I know, who are close with NBA guys, you were well ahead of the game on Clarke, he’s being talked up big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NBA even good role players go for first rounders. A young star on a good contract like Beal? Hell I'd ask for four firsts. Role players don't generally return 1st round picks. The Warriors gave up a 1st round pick to get rid of Iggy. Korver was traded for a 2nd round pick during the season. The Celtics traded Baynes and a 1st round pick this year for a future protected 1st round pick (in other words they essentially got nothing for Baynes). If you see a role player going for a 1st round pick, there is almost always something up there (e.g. the 1st round pick is heavily protected and likely will end up converting as a 2nd round pick in a few years). And Beal's contract isn't that good. He's on what is for him a max deal, and it isn't like he'll be an RFA at the end of this contract. He'll be a guy in his late 20's looking for a full 5 year max deal that will carry him into his early 30's.

RonArtest15 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Parts of Clarke's game remind me of Shawn Marion. Wouldn't have been mad if he was our pick, but I'm more than pleased w/ Rui and his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volsmet Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 BRANDON CLARKEPF, MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES Grizzlies rookie forward Brandon Clarke has been named the MVP of the Las Vegas Summer League. Clarke averaged 14.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks on 57 percent shooting in just 21.4 minutes through five games. He was picked 21st by Memphis, and he already looks like a steal. The Grizzlies will battle the Wolves in the Summer League title game Monday night. SOURCE: NBA on Twitter Jul 15, 2019, 5:35 PM ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Rice Jr. won MVP of summer league too. We'll see if Clarke looks as good in the NBA. He's an absurd athlete with a tireless motor and great instincts, but he's also a 6'8 PF with a 6'8 wingspan that can't shoot threes. Maybe he can be great, or maybe he's the next Kenneth Faried.

StillUnknown Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ted needs all the goodwill he can get at the moment. He'll hide and say it was a nbc sports wash decision, but he could have pulled a power move if he so desired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
