He is an efficient 30 point a game scorer already making the max and there will be no question his next contract will be the max. Meanwhile folks are worried we might have to pay Brunson 25.
When I say "don't really think" I am taking all factors into account.
1) Age.
2) Possible future growth.
3) Contract size.
4) Play on BOTH ends (I think Beal is a TERRIBLE defender who would not help the Mavs closing D at all).
5) Attitude and chemistry fit.
So with all those factors in play I don't really think Beal is an upgrade to JB.
