If it's for the minimum, I'm down. I still think he'd be one of our better bench scorers assuming health which is obviously the risk, but again, for the minimum it's ultimately low risk.

They just need to get under the tax by the trade deadline so they could just offload Beal or someone else then but honestly I'd give it a shot with Beal.

Here's the "intel":

Quote
Jake Fischer: "I was told today that Bradley Beal's decision is not exactly being held up by LeBron, but is being impacted by it. I do think there's some Miami interest there, and I would not rule out Boston for Beal because of the connection with Jayson Tatum. He could go back to the Clippers.  Beal is definitely going to be signed by a team with playoff aspirations, that is my understanding there."

So, just pure speculation because he and JT are friends.

I don't buy the "he is friends with Tatum" line of thought/speculation.  I do not believe that Stevens asked Tatum his opinion nor does Tatum want to be asked.  Maybe Beal has interest in BOS because he is friends with Tatum, but I doubt even that is a factor.  Stevens is not going to offer Beal a deal just because he is friends with Tatum (from the same hometown I believe).

All this report is saying is that he would not rule out Boston, which means nothing, pure speculation, as Roy says.

Miami makes a whole lot more sense, but that appears to be pure speculation also.
