    Interesting… I wonder what the packages for Beal will look like? Also, what does Phoenix even have to offer after the Durant trade?

      Phoenix was rumored to be hoping to go after Dame, and we were wondering what in the world they would be putting in the table to get him. Thinking the same thing for Beal; they just don’t have a lot to offer without taking a step back in their roster construction too.

      Seems like Miami would have Beal locked down, but we’ll see!

      Kinda think the Suns would walk back on waiving Chris Paul if this rumor is true. Played around with a trade machine and something like Paul or Ayton / Shamet or Bazley seems to be what it takes to make contracts line up.

        shams said a while ago the suns are exploring all options with CP3, they are not necessarily waiving him.

        still, I really don’t get this fit with the suns. too many overlapping skills, not enough complementary skills with KD Book and Beal. they need to move CP3 and/or Ayton for depth, not another elite midrange shooter.

        On the other hand Beal looks like a much better fit in Miami.
