I mean, does it irk anybody else when journo's get basic facts wrong?

Avdija was drafted last season, Beal is not a free agent, he has a player option and that's just in the opening sequence.

Trade Spencer, keep gaff and Beal. Idk wtf is wrong with Beal but I do think that as a player, he is closer to last year than he is this season

Still not worth that money. Or maybe last year was an anomaly and this is his true form. Has never been a great shooter, historically dreadful in the clutch, extremely turnover prone, and for the life of me I've never seen a player expend as much energy as he does dancing around only to get off a horrific shot or turn the ball over. He works way too hard to be mediocre. And that is frightening. No thank you.

Re-sign Beal

Then trade him like Clippers did in 2017-18 after giving Griffin the max.

THIS, just like we talked about on Kevin's Twitter Space last night unless someone blows us away with a trade in the next week!

Assuming a team wants to be saddled with that contract.

If we end up resigning him to a max contract, I suspect the "Amazingly Sucky Beal Thread" will get a lot more action than this one. Meeting the expectations of a supermax contract is extremely difficult.

I don't agree with the criticism of him being a "sorry ass". He is still a quality player. But nevertheless, one has to wonder why on Earth we should be paying a non-All-Star the 6th highest salary in the league, and have the contract last 5 full years. It makes absolutely no sense.

Middleton is surprising. He’s missed time with COVID and injuries.

I was expecting one of the Hornets (Ball or Bridges) to get that spot.

As for Brad, he had no chance being an All Star with his sucky his first 15-20 games were.

He should not get max $, much less super max $. But, who know what Teddy is thinking. Will Beal take less than max $ to stay with the Wizards? I hope he does, but when other teams offer much more, he will most likely bolt. I do hope he doesn’t sign for 4yrs $182.5M deal that is currently on the table, because that will really hinder our chances of even building a championship team. It’s a loose-loose from a team perspective.If he signs for much less than that, we may stand a better chance to build a championship team.

Does Terd have the cajones to SUPERMAX a non-All-Star?

That has to be the most humbling/humiliating thing ever. Once you reach brads level, especially what he did last year, you aren't supposed to fall off like this, especially when you are in your prime. I'm still upset that he's not addressing it more and the local media isn't on his asz. Again, we hold the president of the United States foot to the fire in this city but no one bombard him with questions on his lackluster play, especially when he keeps speaking of giving the franchise every chance like he's lebron or KD... Smh

If he's not traded then he better ball out this season. Spencer sucks but we should still be better. If your franchise player is playing like trash then you can't judge anything fairly. We have a lot of new guys and guys who have played with lebron. I know that they are looking at Brad like he's trash in comparison and I bet that Kuz and trez think that they are better than him. That's a sad fall for Brad

If you got rid of the Bertans and Dinwiddie albatross contracts, the Wizards could create a max slot in 2023 rather easily even WITH Beal making $45M.

Lmao. I was literally just thinking about this a day or two ago. Brad is starting to take a lot of difficult shots now. It didn't seem that way before but he's getting his Kobe on now. That's another reason why his percentages are tanking.

Everything you said was spot on and I hate to be that guy but honestly we aren't anywhere close to getting a top 5 pick anytime soon and we haven't been a FA destination, especially without a Beal. If we can get off of Spencer while adding Grant or sabonis, I could see Brad and the Wiz being good down the stretch but like you said, it still may not be supermax worthy

If somehow we convince Brad to just take the regular max instead of super, is it a W?

Return to Washington Wizards
