By no metric or observation is Beal anywhere near a great player anymore. He's decent when focused and engaged, but that happens so infrequently to be irrelevant. He's a 15-20M dollar player making near 60.
You missed the point, but ok.
No I didn't - you said he is great. He is not great by any stretch of the imagination at this point. Great players are near all stars. Beal isn't even close to that, and continues to get worse. He has the worst plus minus on the team. That doesn't happen to great players.
I'd trade away assets at this point just to get rid of him. He's never been a winner, and as his skills diminish, the problem has become worse.
No, just because you say he's great doesn't make it so. He was arguably "great" when he was putting up big numbers on bad teams, if that impresses you, great.
Exactly. But a lot of things have to happen to make it so. Not just with Brad but with Bud as well.
But he hasn't bee available so that is moot IMO. Also, I would no longer consider him a great player either if you can't rely on him. At times he can be effective. That's about as far as I would take it.
Let's say he comes back next game and doesn't get injured the rest of the way. What then?
Then I will evaluate his impact then. Until that time I am going to judge his impact now which has been negligible at best.
you just know we’ll see Ryan guarding Giannis at some point. Intrigued by that. My guess is that doesn’t last long.
it's everybody on everybody with all the switching we're doing now - we saw both gillespie and tyus covering jarret allen on friday which isn't ideal but the results as a whole have been cool
Great point!
i hope he means it
that's fine long as oso comes in before plum
