Gasper: Beal for Brown trade proposal. Yes or No? (poll)

[Tr1boy]

Chris Gasper from 98.5 suggested before that it would be a tough pill to swallow...  but he would trade Brown for Beal. 

If the Wizards end up looking to trade Beal.  Would you make this difficult trade?

What would provide the Celts a higher chance to reach the finals.  Tatum and Brown core or Tatum and Beal core?

A lot depends on what else we'd have to send. Beal will be a free agent soon (no way he takes his player option unless he gets catastrophically injured), which would probably worry me if he wasn't so close with Tatum, but that's a lot of money in 2022-23 locked up in JT, Beal and Kemba.

Basically, it's a maybe.

[PAOBoston]

The answer to this is yes. And I love JB so that is hard for me to say yes. But, Beal is an offensive dynamo and more importantly, he’s like best friends with Tatum. In a league with players teaming up etc, that’s pretty important imo. You get a great player and you keep Tatum happy. Win/win.

[Jiri Welsch]

For those wondering, Beal is 27 while Brown is 24.

People are acting like Brown isn't a great player in his own right , there's no chance in hell that I would let a wing who's bordering All-NBA calibre go when he's on a bargain contract for a combo guard who's considerably older and not much better.

And yes raw on/off does not relegate Brown to being a C list star.

Is this just a straight up one for one trade?

Jayson Tatum says he's never been teammates with Bradley Beal before and he's hoping that happens during the All-Star game on Sunday.

tough call but for me, the point of acquiring Beal is to ADD him to the J's, not replace one of them.  adding Beal would add a more reliable offensive player (but not by a lot -- JB can put up a lot of points as well) but a less versatile defender.  Not to mention Beal has 3 less years of prime time left and a much more expensive contract.

the whole point of acquiring another all-star is to add to the 2 young ones we already have.

Probably not

Cheaper cost -  Brown + 1st +  Langford or Nemsith

Expensive cost - Brown + Smart + (Langford or Nesmith or 1st)

If you're getting Beal, then it needs to happen. You need offensive consistency, and Beal will provide that.

So a 24ur old all star whose gotten better every year who is also one of the best wing defenders in the NBA cost him and all thar?  Beal is amazing but brown for Beal straight up is fair.  His contract plus youth and potential for a rebuilding team you can't get a better return for Beal.   I still say no.

I'd hate to trade Jaylen Brown. Beal is pretty amazing. The picks don't matter so much to me but we need all the players we have. Tatum, Beal and Kemba match up pretty well against Kyrie, Harden, Durant....

I'm glad it's not up to me.

I would say no.

[Moranis]

Nope.  no reason to shrink the window for a player that tops out as a #2 who has a similar ceiling to Brown.

Are you serious?

Beal is elite

To be fair Tatum, Beal and Brown all look like they're going to 'top out as #2s' right now in an ideal situation. It doesn't mean that they can't be #1s on viable title contenders, they would just need more help than truly great players.
