Reaves is outplaying him this season, which let's be honest, is wild to think about. Reaves is the 123rd best paid NBA player. Why would you want to pay more than 3x that salary for less production?
Naw they could use him… but just can’t get rid of AR.. they got pieces.. Cam Reddish, street clothes Vando, and street clothes Christian Wood are all just taking up space.. I like Cams defense, but that dude can’t score if his life depended on it.. Bron be driving with 3 people on him throwing Cam lasers at the three… wide open…. 🧱
For one Beal don't want to go to the bum ass lakers to start with and he don't want yall lakers going down hill fast with no brakes bul coach bum team nobody wants to go to the lakers if you ain't noticed that yet playboy
The NBAs biggest issue is the most viewed teams are loaded with immature uncoachable players, and the teams no one even heard of have nice coaching staffs and no name players whom toe the line!!!! Ball out!
For what he makes, he's playing poorly. Being the third wheel on Phoenix just isn't the right fit for him. A trade makes sense, but definitely not to LA.
@Iamyungveli His assists/rebounds are actually down from last season. His ppg average is about the same. His last year in Washington, he averaged 23 ppg. Granted, he was the 1st scoring option, but you're trying to prop up a guy who's clearly regressed.
This is the problem of the nba or any team sports...their salaries, whether they play poorly or as expected, are guaranteed..a mechanic must be instituted that a player must earn their salary, or at least a team has the power to reduce the player's salary the following season as written in the contract mutually agreed upon..
I honestly think Reaves is better than Beal right now. Beal is a better scorer but thats it. Reaves is a better passer, rebounder and defender. Dont like his fit on our team as an undersized scoring guard for 50 mil/year
And he costs LESS than 1/3 the price with this season and a further two years on that bargain deal. Oh, and other than the few games he missed this season from a freak play, he doesn't get hurt! By the way, was it coincidence those games were when Lakers went into a slump? No way I am trading Reaves for Beal.
This is such a poor take, we can't stay healthy with role players, why would we want a player who takes a big part of the cap and can't stay healthy himself.
laughable to trade mpj for beal. Why would the nuggets do that? what would they get getting beal? they would lose a lot by losing mpj. MPJ is the best 3 point shooter they have. Spacing would be really poor if they trade him. Beal is injury prone, he has lost a step, his salary is too much for his production, and his defense is poor.
So why doesn't anybody care about Phoenix Stephen A? Isn't it you that was bragging about how he was better than the KiNG. Well he should be measured by the same standards.
3 team trade.. beal to lakers, jimmy to suns, rui and other pieces from suns and lakers to heat plus 2 first.. it’s doable it’s realistic.. just iron out the wrinkles and get it done

The Phoenix Suns should’ve kept Chris Paul
Stephen A. cooked on that segment 🔥
Lakers are not talking on another 50mil contract.
You’d be surprised
Suns did a stupid trade bringing in Beal that trade was never going to work.
Beal is not going to the Lakers... We don't need him anyways
Reaves is outplaying him this season, which let's be honest, is wild to think about. Reaves is the 123rd best paid NBA player. Why would you want to pay more than 3x that salary for less production?
Yeah you mfs need a prayer

@@WesR7009 Reaves makes 14 million and Beal 50!!! Insane they even talking about it 😂😂
For one Beal don't want to go to the bum ass lakers to start with and he don't want yall lakers going down hill fast with no brakes bul coach bum team nobody wants to go to the lakers if you ain't noticed that yet playboy
The Phoenix Suns should have not fired their coach Monte Williams and they should’ve kept Chris Paul
Facts👌
Stephen A IS A CLOWN
Why are you here
Rockets: Hey KD! Where you going next, boss? Can you let us know so we can somehow swindle their draft picks like we did the Nets and Suns.
Stephen A watch ya mouth 😂😂😂
Durant has always been this way, the modern day Carmello Anthony!
Beal could help Wemby at Spurs or Harden at Clippers 🤣
Beal is a starter for most teams, but not with the salary of a superstar..
Who would of thought putting one ball dominant player and having him come off the bench would work better.
That is still ok..but with that kind of a salary and coming off the bench...that is akin to swindling..
Stephen A still salty with KD and he allows it to impact what he is saying,
I'd take Beal if the Suns waive him. That contract wasn't worth it from the start.
The NBAs biggest issue is the most viewed teams are loaded with immature uncoachable players, and the teams no one even heard of have nice coaching staffs and no name players whom toe the line!!!! Ball out!
Imagine if this happens on a lebron james team, bro nobody holds KD feet to the fire because KD always says i just want to play basketball
I don't care what fake ass Stephen A says about KD....Jimmy Butler is not him....Stephen A just don't like players that calls him out on his BS
Tell me about it SAS just be running his mouth
Bruh you ain’t smarter than SAAS… you’re a butler hater because you have low IQ
Beal is not playing poor stop making up shit, Book is the one playing poor
Facts, they don't want to bench Booker
For what he makes, he's playing poorly. Being the third wheel on Phoenix just isn't the right fit for him. A trade makes sense, but definitely not to LA.
@mr.anderson3694 he a 3rd option omg yall don't make any sense, Avg 18ppg 4reb 3 ast over 1stls shooting 50% and 40 from 3 as a 3rd option is amazing
You know ball

Ion kno why they put him on the bench he too cold man .
Is That Tim Tebow little brother?
KD going back to okc booker to houston beal probably stay or team that can take salary for picks
Beal good he play he paid 50 mill it don't matter if he get traded

Nonsense
Lakers are so dumb they’ll trade Reeves or Dalton for Beal
This is such a poor take, we can't stay healthy with role players, why would we want a player who takes a big part of the cap and can't stay healthy himself.

Mpj is average
MOLLY QUERIM SLEPT WITH BRIAN WINDHORST
God… Stephen A. Has become annoying as Skip bayless
So why doesn't anybody care about Phoenix Stephen A? Isn't it you that was bragging about how he was better than the KiNG. Well he should be measured by the same standards.
@herobrine TV. Not everyone wants to be a laker. Why do you put a laker jersey on every available player?
Lakers already traded for an overpaid used to be star guard from Washington. (I know he not there now but close enough) 😂😂
This team is trash, Trade evertbody LB, AD has to go
Stephen is a 🤡
Beal overrated
3 team trade.. beal to lakers, jimmy to suns, rui and other pieces from suns and lakers to heat plus 2 first.. it’s doable it’s realistic.. just iron out the wrinkles and get it done
why would the lakers want beal, when buttler is probally the better player, also AR can supplement beals production
@@Schistomaisisuntil playoffs, when he can’t guard anyone
@@kennethcook3127 beal is not guarding anyone either...
The Phoenix Suns should’ve kept Chris Paul
