Just got reported that last minute, Beal only waived his trade clause for PHX and forced his way there. So I guess WSH couldn’t take the Miami deal. All because you gave the dude a no trade clause. Unreal.
I'm still confused tho like if that's all the value you could have gotten out of him because of the no trade clause wouldn't it have been MORE valuable to just KEEP him in the hopes that he changes his mind later or the sun's up the offer?
Beal has a no trade clause so he really made the final choice, he didn't want to live in Milwaukee and he sure as hell didnt want to run laps for Spo XD
I wish the Wizards played hardball with him. Something like oh, you want to veto every trade but one? Fine, you're our 6th man and better be on time for everything and do nothing detrimental to the team because heavy fines will come. Hardball him so he wants to get traded ANYWHERE. You dish out a trash contract, you need to know how to deal with it when it goes bad.
Bradley Beal’s agent deserves a medal. He negotiated a 5 year $250m contract, finessed a no trade clause, and a year later, got him in Phoenix with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. On top of all that, his son is the CEO of the Suns.
@@_YourFlyIsOpen not really tampering when nobody else wanted the player. when Chris Paul tried to go play with Kobe in his prime that was tampering by the league. the league would not let them get another Pau Gasol trade.
I love how the Nuggets just provided the NBA with a blueprint for how to win a championship (pass-first star surrounded by high quality unselfish role players, balance, good coaching, chemistry, etc.) and immediately Phoenix is like Nah fuck that, superteam or bust
Look sometimes that works but there are also team with high prospect that doesn't work like the celtics. made 5 conference finals in a row but no chip. Teams that have older players and building around them with strong 2nd to 3rd options... need players like a beal. Beal would've been great with the Hawks, Warriors, Lakers, and even the Pelicans. This trade is just bad on paper... could be wrong and they might be amazing... but gotta call the kettle black because I saw the westbrook trade and it's unsurprisingly it didn't workout...
Ah, yes. The blueprint of having everybody pass, some teams twice, on a franchise changing player so, you can land him at 41. These Nuggets, that were so smart, drafted Dougie McBuckets in the first round over Jokic. They lucked the fuck out. Getting lucky isn't a blueprint that teams can follow.
I mean I am not going to say that this suns team is going to be good enough to win a ship but to call booker and KD iso heavy hero ball players is objectively false.
KD and Booker are notorious for their abilities to find ways of scoring without the ball in their hands. I mean everybody always calls KD one of the most plug and play players in history for a reason. If you watched the suns recently you would see that Booker has really incorporated that ability into his game in the past few years. Again, I still don't think they're the best team in the nba but this is good for the suns considering what they gave up in my opinion.
Beal not wanting to go to Miami (who is a better fit, sunny beach all year, top 5 state for tax purposes, and won 2 Eastern Conference Championships in the last 4 years) for Phoenix where he'll be a 3rd option is career suicide. His agent must've gotten some kind of incentive from his dad in the Suns front office that we don't know about.
@@macman2141Just like he did in 2021 when he got swept. Both teams have now benefited from the other team being injured. This year will be the true test.
I think that 2026 pick swap is super valuable for the wizards actually. suns trio is very injury prone and that’s their entire team. Not to mention KD will be 37. Even tho it’s not a great trade for the wizards, it’s not as bad as people are saying imo
A pick swap is just valuable if you're better than the team you're swapping with. A team that in 2026 will presumably have prime Booker and Ayton, plus close to prime Beal, plus 37yo Durant is still more than likely better than whatever the Wizards manage to put together 2 years from now.
Suns potentially being able to get Brown, Williams, DiVicnezo, Clarkson COLLECTIVELY really puts it into perspective lol, that’s a championship roster right there
The Suns had no way of getting any of those players. The thing everyone in the comments and the creator of the video don't seem to understand is that the Suns had a 5 mill mle to use with cp3 or with Bradley Beal. The only real question was is Beal better than cp3 + someone willing to take 5 mill or not? Yes, he is.
Some people telling me I’m insane for liking Landry Shamet. Didn’t he get injured late in the season and played hurt in the playoffs? He’s shown enough to me in previous seasons, also he’s still young. I’m riding with him.
Poor defense, undersize, and inconsistent 3-point shooting under pressure. They have so much firepower on the offensive end; they just need to pick some defensive role players
You’ve clearly shown that you don’t follow the suns. Shamet is known to us for getting way too much playing time for his poor performance. One good playoff game doesn’t all of a sudden make him valuable.
Based on what I have seen, they had no other trade partners for chris paul outside of Washington. If they waived him or kept him, they would still be over the cap which means they would only have the mid-level exception and minimum deals. They lose the mid level with this trade but they get a better player in return. They were screwed either way but if this doesn't work out they can always work with beal to have him traded in the future.
@@anthonynorman7545 they needed to get some kind of value for the old and always hurt CP3. Beal isn’t an aging star like a kd or LeBron. So they can still trade him if things go wrong in the future. They still remain flexible long term.

I found it this guy not too long ago and I didn’t realize he hadn’t been active in years. I subscribed and a few days later he posts a video saying he’s back. I’m glad he is. He knows ball
Its so great to have you back dude. I remember when i was first getting into the nba you were among the few channels i discovered that i watched a lot. But then not long after that you took yiur break lol. Welcome back
If Booker is comfortable moving to point then it can be a very good trade for Phoenix. If Booker wants to stay SG then it's a terrible trade. He showed he can play point well, so this could work out very well for Phoenix. Shamet sucks; completely unimportant. A lifetime 40% shooter who never gets to the free throw line and gets almost no assists, rebounds, steals or blocks. So just a terrible trade for Washington
As a bullet/wizard fan this is the best deal this team can get with beal no trade clause. this franchise have a whole new front office that is trying to rebuild from scratch if any mistake that they made was not trading beal when they traded Westbrook.
arenas was banned for the whole season for bringing the gat to arena... morant got away easy.. lol dude was waving it on insta.. hahah yall funny. dont have pity.. be ashamed that he gets only 25. gilbert arenas didnt have social medial... he had guns lol... its sad that morant was not suspended for the season. thank nike may be lol
"I hate losing Shamet if I'm the Suns" lol I'm done after this. My favorite part of this trade is never having to watch Landry Shamet play in a Suns uniform again.
It does make zero sense, but at the same time, the Suns didn’t give up a lot honestly. Landry and an aging CP3 for Beal is good deal to me, only if they decide to trade DA for another center along with depth or somehow keep DA and end up getting depth.
@@nicholasalexander9866 They have Frank Vogel, a defensive coach, who is the Head Coach. Defense is his realm. This Suns front office is not done with this roster. This team will have defensive players on it and depth will be added. Just use common sense. Why hire a defense coach to coach an offensive team? Thats basically Lakers 2.0 for Vogel. Why would he sign up for that? He clearly knows something we dont know and we need to stop acting like we know how things are going to play out. The only thing we can do is wait and see
Booker was shooting like 67% from the field against the Nuggets and KD was averaging 29 PPG. Offense was definitely not the problem for them lol. Now they gotta fill out the roster with minimum contracts or flip ayton for role players
Devin Booker will possibly be playing a lot at the point next season. He looked pretty good running the offense after CP3 got hurt in the Denver series.
Wizards have been one of the most poorly run organizations in the NBA. They should have traded Beal before he was due for an extension. Instead, they give him max money and a no-trade clause. 😂
U absolutely hit the nail on this. Look basketball is a team game. The golden state warriors signed KD, and the narrative was “there’s only one ball to pass around”. I think that rule applies to most teams. The difference is, if your gonna build a super team, your “superstars” all have to offer some kind of value that isn’t redundant to the other “superstar”. Again it’s a team game. Bradley Beal does not offer ANYTHING that this current roster doesn’t have. I mean it’s the definition of redundant. Glad your back to posting man we need more rational ppl out in this space 😂
Shamet has been very disappointing since he joined the Suns. Besides two 31 point games during the regular season and an explosive ending to one of the games against the Nuggets in the postseason, he really didn't do much. Let's bring back Damion Lee on a minimum and he would be more reliable as a 3 point shooter for us.
It's painful being a suns fan, we suck for 10 years, the team finally starts to look good and then we give up our next 15 years for like 2 years of maybe being good! Like the nets just did this, you'd think owners look at the KD Harden Kyrie trio and learn from it, but nooo let's have 3 big names that don't work together at all and have nobody else.
Beal to the Heat made some sense for him, basketball wise and financially. This is a head scratcher. Now we have to hope on Lillard and that looks like a long shot.
I really think you should've gotten into the cba in this video because that's the biggest problem with yhe trade imo. The fit is a problem yeah but they're gonna be over that second tax apron with those 4 players, thats insane and the new cba is incredibly strict so filling out the rest of the rooster is going to be very difficult
Nuggets really showed the nba that winning a chip is with having a good coach, two superstars and great role players. Legit I think the only team that has taken that blueprint this off season are the Lakers and Mavs. Mavs got Seth Curry and Grant Williams with them retaining Kyrie while the Lakers kept their core and signed Taurean Prince, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish and Jaxon Hayes
Upgrading a aging point guard to a 3 times better scorer in Bradley Beal , we all know ball dominant Assists are overated look at the lakers this year with lebron .
@@goat7651 it's not about CP3. It's about how they're stuck with the hot potato of cap space restriction, as well as limited draft capital. They're essentially in the same position the Lakers were in last year with Russ on their roster. Trading for KD was already risky, and this trade is even worse unless you think adding minimum contracts to a core of 4 players is enough to win it all or at _least_ make the finals again.
Hey man just found this video on my fyp and I have to say I have a feeling you’re going to be one of my favorite people to watch. I completely agree with this take.
Only way I can see it being a good move is if Beal plays like a Klay type player moving off the ball a lot or if the Suns stop playing so much iso ball but does that fit the skill set of their stars? Probs not
there's a reason why only the suns and heat wanted beal enough to make this trade. That contract is scary af especially the no trade clause that stays with beal no matter where he goes. Much worse than the previous westbrook contract imo
westbrook is better than jimmy n beal. problem is westbrook actaully does everything, unlike butler n beal... hence suns n heat. they want someone that can bow down to KD n BOOKER. dont hate on westbrook.. he is the man we all knnow
As a suns fan I am not a huge fan of the trade as well but Brotha, Landry has been ice cold for us, minus one good 15 minute stretch in one playoff game. I’m stoked Landry is outta here
Great comments. I'm not a basketball expert but I am a real estate lawyer. Prokhorov was in a big fight to get the development approved. The trade was part of his campaign for that approval. It worked. He made at least a billion off the development.I think this weighed on the Wizards: Miami is in the east. The WW didn't want Beal to stay in the East. Big stars who want to leave are more likely to be traded across the Mississippi.
Hey MDJ, can I ask you a question? Why are there guards and forwards in the NBA that don’t know how to shoot? How are they able to make it to this level without being able to shoot?
Several teams have dynamic duos with good role players. The Suns are the only team with a big 3. Lots of championships have been won by big 3's. They'll be able to find role players during the course of the season. A lot of them somehow manage to have career years/play well above expectations when slotted alongise 3 legitimate stars.
My take are Wiz are in mega ultra tank mode now. Zingis will opt in, but they'll deal him. No re-signing Kuz, will waive CP3. They'll deal players for picks and will also take on expirings or like two year contracts for picks, kind of a "garbage dump" for contracts for picks like OKC and Philly were at the heights of their tank games.
Just got reported that last minute, Beal only waived his trade clause for PHX and forced his way there. So I guess WSH couldn’t take the Miami deal. All because you gave the dude a no trade clause. Unreal.

Bro really just said he hates losing Landry Shamet 😂
you are the only channel i trust
Excellent analysis, you’re on the money. So happy you’re back. You’ve always been one of the best in the biz, man
Chris Paul and Westbrook really following each other to there old team 😆
What a super analogy..👏 🍁
Nuggets really showed the nba that winning a chip is with having a good coach, two superstars and great role players. Legit I think the only team that has taken that blueprint this off season are the Lakers and Mavs. Mavs got Seth Curry and Grant Williams with them retaining Kyrie while the Lakers kept their core and signed Taurean Prince, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish and Jaxon Hayes
As a miami heat fan. I too am sad. 😔
new subscriber but keep uploading!
Bros back ;,)
I completely agree with you. This trade made absolutely no sense. This organization is clueless
Upgrading a aging point guard to a 3 times better scorer in Bradley Beal , we all know ball dominant Assists are overated look at the lakers this year with lebron .
@@goat7651 it's not about CP3. It's about how they're stuck with the hot potato of cap space restriction, as well as limited draft capital. They're essentially in the same position the Lakers were in last year with Russ on their roster. Trading for KD was already risky, and this trade is even worse unless you think adding minimum contracts to a core of 4 players is enough to win it all or at _least_ make the finals again.
Hey man just found this video on my fyp and I have to say I have a feeling you’re going to be one of my favorite people to watch. I completely agree with this take.
It’s really Beal fault too😂 he had no trade clause
Only way I can see it being a good move is if Beal plays like a Klay type player moving off the ball a lot or if the Suns stop playing so much iso ball but does that fit the skill set of their stars? Probs not
NBA GM mode 😂, you're funny 😂
there's a reason why only the suns and heat wanted beal enough to make this trade. That contract is scary af especially the no trade clause that stays with beal no matter where he goes. Much worse than the previous westbrook contract imo
westbrook is better than jimmy n beal. problem is westbrook actaully does everything, unlike butler n beal... hence suns n heat. they want someone that can bow down to KD n BOOKER.
dont hate on westbrook.. he is the man we all knnow
As a suns fan I am not a huge fan of the trade as well but Brotha, Landry has been ice cold for us, minus one good 15 minute stretch in one playoff game. I’m stoked Landry is outta here
😂
Imagine having beef with Landry Shamet 💀
When are you dropping the next swish factor episode? I’ve been waiting for a bit now.
Great comments. I'm not a basketball expert but I am a real estate lawyer. Prokhorov was in a big fight to get the development approved. The trade was part of his campaign for that approval. It worked. He made at least a billion off the development.I think this weighed on the Wizards: Miami is in the east. The WW didn't want Beal to stay in the East. Big stars who want to leave are more likely to be traded across the Mississippi.
This man came back with a vengeance.
Came back after sweep. Incredible foresight lol
Hey MDJ, can I ask you a question? Why are there guards and forwards in the NBA that don’t know how to shoot? How are they able to make it to this level without being able to shoot?
Bradley Beal is the new Tobias Harris.
Several teams have dynamic duos with good role players. The Suns are the only team with a big 3. Lots of championships have been won by big 3's. They'll be able to find role players during the course of the season. A lot of them somehow manage to have career years/play well above expectations when slotted alongise 3 legitimate stars.
OMG MDJ is back and I didnt even notice ?
My take are Wiz are in mega ultra tank mode now. Zingis will opt in, but they'll deal him. No re-signing Kuz, will waive CP3. They'll deal players for picks and will also take on expirings or like two year contracts for picks, kind of a "garbage dump" for contracts for picks like OKC and Philly were at the heights of their tank games.
