Bradley Beal understands the Phoenix Suns commitment to winning & discusses trade deadline
A put ofers assist 31 get 19 what you think about uh first praise my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ um I think it was just just a testament to us all year just constantly growing it you know we uh just getting our camaraderie back you know I think it’s always a good
Feeling especially once the deadline’s over with you know everybody’s kind of settled into okay we can take a deep breath I’m here you know let’s just go let’s go to work now so you know that was kind of our approach tonight is good the uh the energy and locker room was
Great um we definitely miss a lot of guys that aren’t with us anymore but we’re excited for the guys we did add but you know tonight was just just a testament of our depth and guys just always staying ready quick call see it get to a spot
Shoot how much have you finding that more within the offense as opposed to you started uh I’ve been more uh aggressive with it for sure um just trying to speed up our Pace speed up getting us easier opportunities and definitely easier looks for myself you know just in
Transition um playing off nerk you know just being able to find back door Cuts just getting easy easy bucket you know I think some times we do work a little bit too hard on offense and we should we probably should never have to shoot over two three four people like we should be
Able to have a good flow to where guys get back Cuts guys get open threes you know and it’s it’s a free flowing offense you know but it’s uh that’s that’s what I try to do I try to be intentional with it you know Force our Pace Force us to play faster throwing
The ball ahead allowing guys to to create and transition a lot more so I think when we do that it just gives us a better chance of just getting some easier looks at the hoop I’m excited about it I’ve been a fan of Roy from afar we’ve we have a lot of
Mutual friends together and uh I’m definitely excited for what he’s able to bring to the team he’s a big Defender he can guard multiple positions which is somebody that we need right now and then on top of that his ability to shoot you know um he can really shoot the ball put
It on the floor too and create and get paying little touch shots and little kickouts so uh he just fits the mold for what we’re building and we’re excited to have him for this push yeah you process the excitement over the new guys but also losing a guy
That a teammate a friend yeah that was a tough one for me um especially given our history together like I’ve I’ve known Jay good since he was a teenager so is definitely uh surreal in some ways but at the same time you know we’ve we’ve
Talked about this in DC here you know no matter what man if you’re here anywhere else like somebody wants you you know um go prove yourself continue to be yourself and and uh I’m excited for a new opportunity for him you know uh definitely sucks I wish he was he was
Still here but business is business he understands it I understand it and he’s off to a better place and hopefully he can land on his feet and and be ready to go when his name’s called honestly it was my fault because I should have gave him the ball at the
End I shot the damn three I didn’t realize he had eight points he could have had a nice little double double tonight so I’m G just take two of my points and give him to G tonight because he could he could have had a nice little
Double double that’s nice I mean he had he said he’s never passed that much so it was uh I mean that that could be anybody on any given night you know you’re just caught in that extra that extra pass rotation and you know you’re just making the right play and you know
That’s that’s unselfish hoops man for sure bench what stands out to be able to settle starting like that opportunity I think he and Grayson man they kind of like very similar in that role man and just being ready and being that extra guy who line it up go for 20 30 and and
Be okay you know they can come off the bench and be okay they can shoot it twice and be okay granted we need to get on the ball more than that but it’s it’s just a testament to them two being true Pros man and um understanding what their
Value is and what they can contribute to the team we know how important they are and EG he’s been around a long time I’ve always I’ve been I told E when he first got here I was a fan of him when he was in high school watching him in high
School and to see and to be on his team now is is always fun I embrace every moment of it um but he’s versatile man like he can get downhill he can shoot the three both of them can you know so I’m I’m always excited when they get
Going I think it’s just a an extra extra layer that we can just tap into on our team I mean that’s that speaks volumes for sure you know um he’s kind of like you know he’s kind of putting it on us now too you know like I’m I’m he’s doing his
Part and like we got to do ours and so uh you don’t see that a lot in our league you don’t see a lot of owners you know kind of taking their teams by the horn and like no I want to win and I want to win in you know the the right
Way and the best way with the with a good team and he has that vision and he he’s in practices he’s he’s on trips with us like he’s he’s super locked in and I think that that uplifts you as a team too you know just to see his
Engagement and uh how much he loves the team how much he’s embracing the city um he’s embracing the staff learn trying to learn everybody learn how he can be better how to the area can be better how facility can be better like it’s a brand new facility he’s trying to make it
Better you know just it’s it’s like he’s all he’s about all the right things so you know so we gota you know we gotta put up and shut up you know 100% 100% you know um it’s not easy you know I’ll never speak on anybody’s Pockets or anybody’s because trust and believe I
Would that’s a that’s a that’s a hell of a commitment man to to to do but you know I I definitely i t my hat to guys like that and and everybody in that situation because it’s not easy to build a team it’s not easy to you know decide
Who you want to pay who you want to you know have a part of your your group so I I understand it wholeheartedly uh but it like you said it does kind of uplift you for sure in knowing that you know your your staff your ownership group is going
To do whatever it takes to you know Propel you to be an elite elite team um so yeah yeah oh it makes the transitions for uh smoother for sure um just like going to school it’s like transferring schools with somebody you know like it’s it’s
Going to take time you know you gota you know you have the guys that you were cool with but you you learn to adapt to the other guys and you have to uh gel and mes with with everybody else on the team and you know I think having
Somebody with you is always good but uh you still got to break out of that shell eventually and that’s something that we all know in our business our businesses it can get grimy at times but you know uh that’s just the the way to land we
Got to go out and do our jobs and be prepared when our numbers call whether it’s this team or another team those matchs oh huge you know he he he accepts those challenges on the nly uh it’s even funny sometimes we argue about who we want to
Guard and he wants to guard like small guards I’m like K like this this you know don’t make sense like go guard guard big fella you know but uh I think it just it’s a testament to him man like he’s a really good ball player we know
He can score the ball at any level but his tenacity and his aggressiveness on the defensive end is been exemplary like everybody’s follow a suit on that um he takes huge pride in it he gets pissed off when guys score and the other team scores and you know I think that’s that
Propels us on that end you know when you see him me book everybody’s guardline it’s like everybody got a guard you know so we got to keep it going he’s leading Us in doing that he’s being active blocking shots rebounding being physical all the things we need him to do Oh wow Jimmer had a Jimmer was a crowd pleaser for Sure I’m trying to think of one not to B’s not to B’s level no no yeah it’s funny because we’re not surprised by anything he does you know um he’s very talented uh and I think you guys know better than anybody you know with opportunity you can show and and be able
To do anything you know so I think his confidence is constantly growing he’s staying within his box he’s not doing anything erratic and he’s just hooping having fun doing it you know we’re putting him in really good positions to succeed uh his defensive presence and his ability to rebound alter shots it’s
Huge for us he had like two three blocks tonight at The Rim uh you know then offensively I think he kind of just buzzes you because he can dribble he can shoot he can move like a guard so uh we love him I mean I know everybody’s kind of
Like Rah R ra for him but I mean we expect it you know that’s some he’s in the rotation like he’s he’s one of our guys that that’s what he does come on man Iceman George gin that joint’s like also understand EST their spot yeah it’s kind of a fine line you
Know because the once once Allstar hits is like it’s speed rolling after that you know but I think we have real a really good true Pro in Roy you know Royce has been here before he knows what it takes he’s won at a high level um so I think just
Getting him adjusted and acclimated to us won’t be that won’t be too difficult um and I think we we have a a good system in place for him to just kind of just plug and play and go U Already Here I mean that’s uh it’s always about opportunity
Obviously you know that’s that’s coach’s job not mind you know whoever he decides to play whatever lineups are out there obviously we have so much versatility man it’s not easy to pick who’s playing tonight you know or who we’re matching up against so uh you know I think we
Have a lot of depth at every position to where no matter who’s out there they can help us and they can help contribute and especially the guys that we already have
