Bradley Beal gave Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu a tip in the middle of last night’s game and it very quickly backfired. Fun story from @eddierazo_ ift.tt/3q6eLo9 – 10:50 AM

Spencer Dinwiddie, asked if he picked up anything watching the Wizards while in protocols, says he’s all for point guard Beal if that’s what’s asked. Reiterates he’s here to be a complementary piece. – 11:28 PM

Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu said Bradley Beal gave him some advice during the game on driving to the basket after getting called for two travels.
Ayo then used the move on the next play to score and Beal told him: “I didn’t say use it on me, I said for the future.” – 11:15 PM

Ayo Dosunmu says Bradley Beal gave him some advice about how to drive after he was called for two travels. He used that advice on the next play and scored on Beal.
When Beal lined up out of bounds, he teased Ayo: “I didn’t say do it on *me*.” – 11:11 PM

Ayo Dosunmu said Bradley Beal gave him some advice during the game about how to make this one move. Dosunmu then used the move and said Beal told him, “I didn’t say use it on me. I said use it in the future.”
That’s classic. – 11:11 PM

One interesting thing about the Wizards tonight, with Spencer Dinwiddie back from protocols, Washington will have both Beal & Dinwiddie for first time since Dec. 18, a span of seven games. #Bulls – 12:27 PM

Recycling a point I made in our @celticsblog slack:
MCU fans get angry when they dream stuff up (Mephisto, Mr. Fantastic, etc.) and it doesn’t happen.
Feels like Celtics fans are the same way with Bradley Beal dreams.
Your dreams and theories don’t drive actions. – 10:50 AM

More on this storyline
Brian Windhorst: So here’s the question that executives are starting to ask themselves… Are the Wizards in a position where they want to give Bradley Beal a five-year, $200 million contract? -via Spotify / January 8, 2022
More than four weeks are left in this trade season for the Sixers to amend that stance, but the vibe they continue to emit — no matter how loudly outsiders push back — is that they believe waiting can indeed enhance their chances of acquiring a Damian Lillard or a Bradley Beal for Simmons. As it stands. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 7, 2022
Marc Stein on Bradley Beal: I have never heard a credible, really plugged-in suggestion that says, ‘Yes, he’s trying to get to Boston.’ Now I think people certainly believe that because obviously he has the whole St. Louis friendship with with Tatum. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 7, 2022
