No one is trading for Beal. They do need a tyus Jones type 1.Suns is garbage.
Trade Beal, get yourself a real PG and another elite 3/D guy. Keep Book, KD, Nurk and Allen.

Yup. Should have been tanking from the get go. Now it's 100%

How are the Bucks in the bottom 10 on defense? Griffin looking like a suspect hire or nah

Beal was always just a good player on a bad team looking “better” than he actually was. Everyone always thought he was their “missing” piece. All he did was pump fake every year like he was leaving the Wizards only to stay. Now that he’s on a team with expectations…….well.

Hard to say how much of it is Griffin's fault. They should be better than they are, but also don't have very good defensive personnel on the wings and in the backcourt. Both Dame and Beasley are below average on defense (or maybe even worse).

And Middleton in 2024 isn’t that same defensive stopper of even 2021.
Can’t stop POA and that’s what you get.

Those Christmas Kobes strike again!
I don't know what it is with that colorway, but there has to be some negative effect on the sole compound, as they have been the cause of a ton of slipping injuries. It doesn't appear the Protro model has fixed this.

The traction on them isn't good out the box. You have to break it in and for pro's who switch shoes as often as they do it doesn't shock me that its's happening.
Kobe's are good performance shoes but they've now hit the overhyped region.

You're probably right but I have seen so many injuries in that specific colorway. Derozan bailed on the gather for a dunk for instance. I have seen a few more but can't place the players.

The 9s had some of the best traction in my experience playing in them.

Hard to blame the shoes, but every single one of my injuries (ankle, knee, etc) happened in Kobes

Front office knew they needed another piece even before that Lakers beatdown in the first round.
Now they have a chance to get it. They generally draft/trade extremely well.

Can't find the tweet, but one of the Indy beatwriters said Haliburton was slipping in the Kobe's yesterday and needed to change to his usual lows before he strained his hammy.

Folks mocked perimeter defense saying it wasn’t as important as bigs and look what you have. 2 all-league defenders in the front court and their team SUCKS defensively and it’s all because their perimeter defense is garbage.
