Felger and Mazz saying Beal might be going to the Nets? They read some tweets from Wizards reporters saying Beal requested a trade and the Nets are a possibility.
1) Felger made something up
2) then Mazz made something up
And then they put 1 and 2 together
Lebron is coming to Boston! except for the beef he has with Belichick

If Beal goes to Brooklyn it will be tough to continue being an avid NBA fan

there aren't enough offensive possessions in a whole season to keep those ball hogs happy as it is.
No way they are trading for Beal.  I almost spit up my drink when I read PAO's post...

Guys, Brooklyn literally has no picks to trade lol It’s a made-up rumor. Unless they’re trading one of their Big three for Beal - which makes no sense for either side - it’s virtually impossible.

Felger knows less about the NBA than a literal ham.

mmmm ham.

Delicious meat.

Terrible sports insider.

We are going to eat Felger? Count me out, yuck! Count me in on some real ham.

Could this be why Kanter was signed:

I’m told the #Celtics are prepared to offer the Washington #Wizards a package of Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, Aaron Nesmith and 3 first round picks for Bradley Beal.


Dam, that's a lot, would like to hold either Aaron on RWill....
He has a massive twitter following of 133.

Three years, $62 million for Spencer Dinwiddie from the Wizards when the dust settles, I'm told.

Who is Washington sending out to BRK?

So San Antonio's lineup is looking like

G: Dejuante Murray, Lonnie Walker
G: Derrick White, Bryn Forbes
F: Doug McDermott
F: Thaddeus Young, Al Farouq Aminu
C: Jakob Poeltl, Zach Collins

That is not a good team.

Looks like the got enough talent to take them out of the mix for a top 5 draft pick. So not even tanking correctly. Trying to win and failing.

Eh, I think that's comfortably a bottom 5 team.  Who scores on that roster?  It's a collection of decent roleplayers who would all rather somebody else shoulder the burden on offense.  Well, and Dougie McBuckets.  But I doubt they're going to win many games letting him launch 20 shots a night.

Yeah, decent role players are often enough to take you out of the worst of the worst. Usually the bottom 5 teams have 1-3 good players and a load of duds (3rd stringers to non-NBA types filling their benches).

San Antonio is threading the line a bit here (Zach Collins types who could go either way) but they look like they got enough veteran know-how to just pull ahead of the worst of the worst.

My bottom five right now are Cleveland, Orlando, Oklahoma, Houston and Detroit. Then San Antonio, Minnesota and Toronto. After that you have legit teams with some shot at a run for a final playoff spot.

Bradley Beal heard that a few teams would be interested in him next offseason.

“I been heard Charlotte, Boston, Miami, and Golden State.  Preferably, if I had to choose one, I think I’d go with Boston”

Kyrie for Beal makes some sense.

Reports of Nets being bothered by his antics. If bothered enough, cashing in for Bradley Beal is an excellent option. I would do that if I were Brooklyn. Beal is not a nutcase. Easy decision.

Nets won't trade Kyrie unless Durant signs off on it. Don't see that happening.

Exactly. No sense from Washington’s perspective.

Plus they’re all friends, and KD and Kyrie planned to go there together. Trading him against his will seems like you’re then pushing KD out the door, too.
