Terrible for GSW. I’d rather have the fresh corpse of Klay than the corpse of Beal three years later in the process.
Yeah the other issue is I don't think Beal is a good fit next to Curry. Part of why Steph struggled a bit at times last year was being paired with an aging player who wasn't a good defender -- e.g. Klay or Paul. Paul was good when he wasn't sharing the court with Curry though.
The talent upgrade is marginal at best, and then I'm not high on the coming Beal years considering his last 3 seasons are 53, 50, and 40 RS games played and he stunk in the playoffs against the Twolves. I do agree that the Warriors could use a 2nd ball handler/play maker to pair with Curry, but Beal didn't seem very good in that role for the Suns. Maybe I just value Beal lower than some, but the games played count is worrying to add to an old team.
Seems like a bailout for Phoenix. I know the Warriors don't have a lot of good options overall so to some extent I can understand the attempt to make a move, but I highly doubt trading expiring players for what many are calling the worst contract in the league is something that the Warriors will consider.
If GSW wants an overpaid guard I’m positive they could get Lavine for less than thus package plus Lavine is a much superior player at this stage. I’m not a fan of Lavine either fwiw.
