Instead of Beal, who should the Suns have traded CP3 and Ayton for? (alien.top)

Imo Beal isn’t the right fit for this Suns team and is redundant when next to KD and Booker and I think the Suns could have used this past offseason to actually get someone who would make this team the favorite. I think they could have gotten someone like Siakam, OG, FVV or even Harden and they would have been a better fit. What are some names you think the suns could have gotten instead of Beal?

Tbh I don’t know why they didn’t go after Giannis. Are they stupid??

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Fire the gm at this point

[–] chickenripp@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Booker Allen kd Giannis Jokic

How did we mess up putting this lineup together

[–] KellerFF@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ray Allen or Allen Iverson, the one name names makes this sooo confusing!

[–] chickenripp@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Grayson Allen. But I’ll take ray instead if we are offering that lol

[–] Inevitable-Paint-650@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I was actually hoping they will send Booker to the Nuggets

[–] nullstellensatz1@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The Suns traded Ayton for Nurkic, Grayson Allen, and Nassir Little (and Keon Johnson)

[–] AnkitPancakes@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

jerami grant maybe

[–] wichita_gator@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The only offer for Ayton besides Nurkic + Little was THJ + Holmes + McGee from the Mavericks on draft night. Nobody else was going to trade for CP3 because it was leaked the Suns were planning on waiving him. Neither had much value at all, so I'm happy we were able to get what we did this off-season. Before we got Beal, the Suns were linked to Fred VanVleet and Terry Rozier at the trade deadline. We probably wouldn't have retained FVV, and Beal gives us a higher ceiling than Rozier.

Any star that isn’t the archetype of Beal. Beal is the worst type of player for a team with this depth

[–] defiantcross@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

can you name one of these "any star" guys that would have been available?

[–] Arooooooooooooooo@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Porzingis.

[–] eternal_student78@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

They got Beal essentially for free. Who else would you have preferred they get for free instead?

[–] ogqozo@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Their lineup with Booker, Gordon, Grayson Allen and Nurkić looks so good so far that maybe the answer is "nothing" lol. This team is already cooking with 50 million in street clothes.

I am very Beal-sceptical but I can't say more about Beal on Suns without actually Beal playing on Suns, so we'll see.

[–] sunsbr@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

It was Cp3 and Shamet and not Ayton

[–] problem973@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

He's barely played. You're just saying shit to say it. They don't even know how good they are with him. How the fuck would you know?
