They got the extra 2 for Peters and the 'penalty' of having to wait until 2019 to use it was the biggest kick in the dick. If they can use that to get Beal (and of course presuming they think he can play), then trading 2 years for Peters for 4 years of Beal really isn't that bad.
If they think he can play as a functional starter this year (and physically he damn sure can), then they should have no problem using that 2 on him.
As for the suggestion that they throw a 4th at Alexander - we don't have one, right? Went in the Ragland deal. I'd flip a 5th out there to see if he fell but I wouldn't offer up a 3rd at all.

The terribleness of the Peters trade sucks, in terms of losing that caliber player. I get it, all things being what they apparently were behind the scenes etc. Still sucks. Especially considering had they been able to keep him, paired with Fuller and such, they'd be exciting.
But to me the financial aspect of it made more sense the farther away we get from it. It they weren't gonna pay him, and he was as bad in the lockerroom and to deal with as some say, eh.
