No. The bench was OK. If we trade for Beal (like sign & trade), Brad Stevens and Ime might have to suit up again! RR, you might be the only person who thinks our bench was ok. But if we do trade for Beal, we'd have to gut our roster and a core piece. Not sure if it'll be worth it.

At any rate, whether here or elsewhere, one would have to assume that Bradley Beal is leaving WAS. He said he wants to win -- well, it isn't going to happen there.
Would be a good idea for the Wiz to trade Beal for expiring contracts and draft picks and start their rebuild.

I'd be shocked if this is the type of move Brad would want to make. If we look at the 2nd half of the season when everyone was healthy, we had a top-team run. I think you hope RWill can get healthy and you use the stuff you have (TPE & MLE) to add to & improve the bench. We know how tricky chemistry and team-building can be with this core - I can't imagine we'd be willing to shake that up by including Brown or Horford or whoever to match salaries.

And that's exactly the impression I got, runrondo, listening to Brad's press conference that DM posted in another thread. I don't see a shake-up coming.

GS was the only team BOS faced in the playoffs that had a better bench, and MIA also had a deeper bench. White/P2/the other Williams was adequate (Theis as in-season spare). Now, if Danny would have hit on one of those 4 mid round busts...never mind.

I'm neither pro or against at this time.

Ok, let's keep it moving. I wasn't sure how would've fit in anyways. He's not a 1, too short to be a 2 in our constant switching defense.

That closes the door. Wasn't really interested in him coming here anyway (not defensive enough)
