The initial trade restriction is for all players that signed new contracts over the summer. Like a moratorium being lifted, regardless of individual contract language. For Beal, he has a full No-Trade Clause, meaning he would have to approve the trade that was agreed upon by the teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 God, if they could get out of his deal even if they get pennies on the dollar in a trade, and then pay Kuz to build around. That would be a nice step forward. Though, nobody trusts Sheppard and Ted to have the right scouts and draft/sign the right guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Kuz sandwiched with Wiggins from behind, and other guy leaning the whole time into his side. But they call charge, AFTER a replay review. League is a joke 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I knew Beal and Wall never got over their beef. Beal wanted nothing to do with playing with Wall anymore. Wall was naive to think they were gonna stay together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beal wanted nothing to do with playing with Wall anymore. Wall was naive to think they were gonna stay together. Personally, I think it was more about Beal "feeling his power". Basically, he came to view the Wizards as "his team" and didn't want to share the limelight any longer. I just think it was a punk ass way to go about it.

Renegade7 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) It all comes back to Beal in one way or another being one of the most unlikable stars in this franchise history. Wall was an obvious fan favorite, and I've now come across multiple instances where either Beal couldn't care less or wasn't happy about it. I don't believe Beal could've stopped Wall from getting traded, but he did have a chance to take less to make it make sense for Wall to come back and didn't. For me, that's how he'll be remembered, Beal got what he wanted and we have nothing to show for it.

Trade Rui, that's fine. Don't really care. Also don't care that Rui was supposed to be Ted's way of getting people in Japan into this team. They'll trade everyone on the roster except the guy they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'm so apathetic about this Wizards team. Trade these people, don't trade them, it's hard to care. Unless it 's Beal for a bunch of prime assets, none of it will make a bit of difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Is anyone really suprised at the idea we drafted Rui and Dani to market to fans in their respective countries versus what was actually best for the franchise?

MonkFan8 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Rui improving his value with a great performance tonight. Really though, I wish they'd have traded Rui a season ago. In my eyes he has always been a player where his perceived value is way higher than his actual or theoretical production. Besides a modest improvement in his 3 ball he really hasn't progressed at all since he was a rookie. If anything, his defense has regressed. Despite people thinking he's some mid-range king, his shot is still way too flat and he gets zero lift. People can complain he gets iced out of the offense, but I think if he were more aggressive or consistent he would get more looks. He is the typical Wizards player of the past 15 years, looks good when he has a hot shooting night, but those are few and far between. Hopefully his value is inflated across the league because people seem to still think they can fix him and turn him into Kawhi for whatever reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to keep him instead of complaining about too much depth at forward when Kuz has already said he wants to leave. Front Office still can't get out of its own way.

The last ten minutes or so really get into Tommy Sheppard. He's pretty much exactly what all Wiz fans know. Hopefully he really is on the hot seat.

Kuzma's a talent, but he's more of a compliment, rather than the alpha dog you build a team around. He's similar to Beal in that he cant be your best player or focal point. This might be semantical, but I think you build "with" him, rather than around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
