2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

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.

That is fair, but in that case you simply pay Brunson and ignore Beal.  I find it extremely unlikely that Beal will try to force his way here and Brunson would prefer to be in Washington to the point where this makes any sense.

I won't be surprised if at some point it makes sense to trade Brunson for a legit two way player, but I don't see it being this offseason via some convoluted S&T, and I don't see it for one way players like Beal or Lavine.
