12 shots and 12 points with an annual salary of 46 million! The Suns traded for three ways and lost 10 draft picks

We won't say much about the game process here, let's talk about the players' play, the Grizzlies just defeated the Lakers recently, Morant was absent this time, I didn't expect them to win, and now the Grizzlies have played resilient, since Morant and Smart have returned, the team's confidence has returned, Bane got 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 8-of-14 shooting in this game, and Jaren Jackson got 28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block.

Smart shot 9 of 20, 4 of 13 three-pointers got 25 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, Smart has scored 25+ points in two consecutive games, although Smart's scoring cannot always be so stable, but Smart's defense and ball quotient are indeed very good, this game substitute S Williams shot 6 of 11 from the field, 3 of 4 three-pointers got 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, he is responsible for the main defense of Durant, although he is short, but very positive, commendable.

On the side of the Suns, Durant has just returned from this game, and his state is not stable enough, 11 of 23 shots from the field, 0 of 1 from three-point range, and 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

Booker was not well defended by Smart in this game, he shot 9 of 17, 2 of 6 three-pointers and got 24 points, 0 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, but when the Big Three were on the court, it did give other teammates a chance to shoot more easily, Nurkic got 18 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block on 8 of 17 shots, and Grayson Allen got 16 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 4 of 8 three-point shots.

Ayton was exchanged for the two of them at the beginning, and now it is earned, although Ayton has better talent and a higher ceiling, but the experience and space ability of Grayson Allen and Nurkic are obviously more suitable for the Big Three, but Beal's trade is a loss now, Bill shot 5 of 12 from the field, and 0 of 1 from three-point range with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and his poor performance can be said to be caused by no ball possession.

But Beal as a three-in-command he forgot his identity at the last moment, in the first three quarters he also knew to integrate into the team, shoot when he had the opportunity, attract defense and let his teammates score if he didn't have a chance, he scored 10 points in the first three quarters with a total of 7 shots and 4, and as a result, in the final quarter he ignored the defensive singles, and got 2 points and 2 rebounds in 1 of 5 in the single quarter, knowing that it was okay, and not knowing that this team was his team, not Durant and Booker's team.

Beal's premium is not only that he can't distinguish his own positioning, he likes to be hot-headed, Beal's biggest problem is that he can't play the value of his annual salary at all, this season Beal's annual salary has reached 46.74 million, ranking sixth in the league, and his contract is as high as James and Embiid, what kind of contract is this? It is a contract for the boss of the team, but he is doing the work of a three-in-command, and it must be a premium.

In addition, even if he is obtained, the current Suns are still a lot of gaps from the championship team, and it is better to trade Beal to be honest than to take Paul and those draft picks to exchange for some suitable blue-collar workers, because after the formation of the Super Three, the Suns' bench strength is now too limited, take this game as an example, the Suns scored 22 points with a total of 5 people on the bench, and the opponent Vince scored 19 points, and they scored a total of 36 points off the bench.

So far, the Suns have averaged 28.9 points per game off the bench, ranking 26th in the league, because Bill locked the team's salary space, they simply don't have more money to bring in the right players, plus the Big Three have injury hazards, this strong team may eventually miss the championship this season, and the Suns toss a game in vain.

In order to get Beal, the Suns even pulled the Pacers to make a three-way trade, the Suns sent Paul, Shamet, 5 second-round picks, 4 first-round swap picks, and they also sent some cash to get a second-round pick from the Pacers, a total of 10 draft picks to get Beal, so far this season, Beal has averaged 16.5 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and now this deal has made the Suns lose a lot, if in exchange for some excellent blue-collar and roster thickness, the Suns may be better.
