    I guess that’s one way to get him to waive his NTC lol

    The whole world: “Ishbia, don’t sign Beal, he’s not the answer to Suns’ problem”
    And today I can hear Dan Gilbert’s laughs

      There’s been some bad trades the last couple of years but this one was mind blowing in that it should have been clear to everyone it was bad st the time.

      There really wasn’t an angle you could sell yourself on it fit wise with what their needs were and what Beal provides. On top of it just being a bad fit he has 1 of the leagues (I believe) only 2 no trade clauses so it was a terrible trade that’s really hard to get out of now.

      If they can’t trade Beal you almost start to wonder if they just blow it up and trade KD/Booker to get some picks back given how tough the west is and their current play but not sure Ishbia is willing to do that.

        If they want to trade him, they’ll just find a way, even just not letting him play or play meaningful moments. Friendly media will do the rest, somehow forcing him out. But they’ll get close to nothing in return
