4 Reasons To Trade For Bradley Beal

The Opening Tip
 

Hello & Happy Almost Weekend - It's the Corner Three!

A Podcast About 'The Blueprint'

The Carl Landry Record Club is our music podcast that Spike does with Mutlu. Every week they talk about two albums (one is our pick, one is yours). This week, the pod is about Jay-Z's classic 'The Blueprint,' Mel & Tim's 'Starting All Over Again,' and a nod to August Burns Red's new track 'The Cleansing,' while Spike gives a PSA about dogs being leashed.

The new episode is here, a list of all of the albums we've ever done is here, and you can suggest an album here. To subscribe, it's everywhere. You know how to subscribe to podcasts.

Oh Yeah, The Sixers

The Case for and against :
Brad Beal

• For 

  • Undoubtedly loved by Joel Embiid (if that still means anything) and some might recall that rumblings on why the Simmons/Harden swap took so long to develop were because Joel spent a ton of time really pushing for a Beal deal to get a second, third and fourth look. 

  • This might be the best you get for Tobias Harris (If Tobias is all it takes).

  • He's one of the best scorer's we have in the league. At a time when the Sixers are craving players who can create their own offense he certainly can fill that need

  • Part of me just wants to do it to keep him away from Miami

• Against

  • That fucking contract. Woo. With the new CBA cap rules hitting soon too, going all in would probably look something like this since you'd have literally no other avenues to upgrade your roster.

  • He's going to be on wrong side of 30 and misses a ton of games

  • Is he a loser? 

  • He doesn't really match the Heat Culture ethos so even if they do get him it's not a foreseen slam dunk

Idk man, I'm not quite sure I'd be down to handcuff myself financially to an Embiid/Beal Core but then again we got orange sky and bridges collapsing and it's not my fucking money so who's to say they also shouldn't.

Mike's Corner... Buy A Second Round Pick

Every week, Spike or Mike will write something for the Corner Three Newsletter. It's Mike's turn, who desperately needs Josh Harris' help.
 

In my regular life, I think I'm a pretty levelheaded individual. But as you total sickos who subscribe to a podcast newsletter know, that level tips over, falls to the ground, and spills level bubble juice all over the damn garage when it comes to our Philadelphia 76ers. The lows are low, and the highs are just lows we don't know about yet. 

But there is one thing that every Sixers regime could do to bring me back in, one Break Glass In Case Of Depression move they could always pull. Even after yet another playoff disappointment, this time with the blame squarely on Joel Embiid. Even with the uncertainty of Harden's return, or what a Tobias trade would look like, or how Nick Nurse will find a way to play Maxey more than 48 minutes per game. One simple, simple way to bring my simple ass back into the fold to believe in these torturous himbos again.

Buy a second round pick.

That's it! For a small cash advance of 3-to-5 million dollars, Josh Harris's DevilCommanders can turn this frown upside down. I actually love counting other people's money, and can confirm he wouldn't feel a thing. If there was an easy way to rob him of this money to buy a second rounder ourselves -- sort of a Sam Hinkie/Robin Hood mashup -- I would do it.

They owe me after last year. While I do love and have loved De'Anthony Melton for years, to select David Roddy and then rip him away from me was extremely traumatizing. I wanted that boat, I developed a connection with that boat, and then the boat just kept sailing past me with my arms ready to embrace him. Then to cut Isaiah Joe (who is good) and Charles Bassey (who will be good) and continue stashing Filip Petrusev (who probably sucks), I am extremely entitled to some compensation.

And though I would say this every year -- and have, and will -- this is a great draft class! There are SO MANY good rotation players to be had in the 25-50 range. Jaime Jaquez. Colby Jones. Marcus Sasser. Kobe Brown. Seth Lundy! I could go on forever baby! One of those people needs to have their life ruined by becoming a Philadelphia 76er.

Just give me one pick in that area, so we can take a guy like Christian goddamn Braun who played good goddamn minutes in the NBA goddamn Finals, so I can clamor for Nick Nurse to let PJ Tucker's old pancake ass and dead hand rest for a week to let the young guy play. That's it! My only demand! Or we storm the office of the New Jersey District Of Columbia Josh Harrises and get it for ourselves!!!!
