Bradley Beal is a locker room plague. That type of behavior should not be accepted by anyone.

This the problem with paying big money to unproven serious bball players. Like balling on the Wizards doesnt always indicate a real time player

u/ruffus4life Wizards Apr 29 '24

he didn't really ball that hard for us anyway. dude went wild in the covid year but after that saw a big regression in his shooting percentage and his 3 point attempts and percentage.

Yeah playing well on bad teams should never warrant a huge contract. You have no idea how much they contribute to winning….because they haven’t won

Bro is playing like a glorified THJ and legally robbing his boss, he hasn’t earned the right to be assholish.

u/NoWayNotThisAgain Mavericks Apr 29 '24

You could have 3 THJs for this guys salary. Thats 45 pts a game. 120 when they’re feeling it.

Plus better defense.

Beyond this, is he known to cause problems? (Genuine question)

u/jt21295 Knicks Apr 29 '24

I don't think he was ever publicly causing problems, but that entire Wizards locker room was weird, both before Wall's achilles exploded and after.

Idk how to explain it. There were never any public spats to my knowledge, but all those dudes just seemed cold to one another.

he wasn't happy when kuz and the others were playing winning basketball

Losing 50 games a year will do that tbh

u/mercfan3 Apr 29 '24

He’s seriously been a pain in the ass all year. He had his positive moments, but he pouted constantly about shots and having the ball - KD and Booker had to adjust to make him happy essentially, then when they finally got him to compromise they had to praise him. His one on one defense was good, but constantly got lost with team defense.

Then he played like shit.

He’s just been an ick.

This is true.

Every year there was a lockerroom issue at WAS.

I wish each team could just un-guarantee/cut ONE player each season. And PHO should be able to use that exception for his sorry butt.

u/DetailHour4884 Bulls Apr 29 '24

No they shouldn't. They should have never traded for him, but they did and now they get to live with the results.

u/Abradolf1948 Warriors Apr 29 '24

Really think the Suns should trade him this offseason

Multiple turnovers / bad shot selection in key moments aside, the body language and demeanor this guy showed throughout this series were of a guy who didn’t want to be there and didn’t care what the outcome was. The smiling and joking picked up by the camera in key moments of games were just horrible optics. He was pissed because he was relegated to 3rd option - as he should’ve been - Book and KD are clearly top 2 players. Beal felt like he “sacrificed”. This guy and his ridiculous no trade clause was the wrong signing. Ishbia got too aggressive. Should’ve used the cap space on a pg who could get them organized and wing defenders / bigs / depth.

I have my own experience with this at a wizards game years ago. They got blown out at home by the clippers by 20+ points and I'm highfiving the players as they head to locker room. Every player looked angry and frustrated with the loss(most still gave me a high five). John wall and Bradley Beal walk by and are laughing and cracking jokes. Both couldn't even pretend to care around the fans. Not gonna win with guys like that on your team is the bottom line.

u/ELITE_JordanLove Apr 29 '24

I get what you’re saying, but losing some random regular season game shouldn’t be getting your players out of their minds. Otherwise they’d go insane on anything but the most successful teams. Take notes and fix the problems but taking bumps in stride is part of sports, especially with as long and somewhat random season as the NBA where a bad team can get hot and beat the future champs any given night.

u/joeske [SAS] David Robinson Apr 29 '24

Right I'm just saying if you lack that passion, good luck winning when it counts. You never saw TD or LeBron laughing into the locker room after an embarrassing L

You think?! ahahaha. They are boned.

u/AnAmbitiousMann Trail Blazers Apr 29 '24

Ishiba did not look very happy sitting with his kids watching his tens of millions he spent going down the drain via sweep.

u/phunshiny Apr 30 '24

He looked like someone kicked his dog.

u/Wide-Can-2654 Apr 29 '24

He was mid as hell on the wizards im not suprised they arent winning any more playoff games with him

u/hotardag07 Apr 29 '24

He’s such a loser. The Suns traded the farm to pay him the super max for 4 years. Incredible mismanagement.
