@DCGoldPants Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 5 minutes ago, method man said: the guy is an excellent mentor That may be true. But does he want that role right now? Nope. If they can get him to a team that can at least make the playoffs, that's doing him a solid. Cleaning up Ted's mess is step one. If Washington rolls with the lows team salary next year because it's all youth, that's fine. Gives them time to map out where they want to go and have the room to go after some guys next year if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxito Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Came to this thread, to say what a terrible return the Wizards got. Read some posts, and I'm still saying the same thing. The only difference is that now I have a better understanding of why the Wizards got hosed (if that's how you spell it) in this deal. Hopefully, Paul's trade will get a better return for the Wizards! Hopefully a 1st round pick in return (wishful thinking I know). Edited June 18, 2023 by Maxito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) This trade just illustrates how bad that Beal contract was. The return is a joke but getting out of that deal was the first step in the rebuild. Don't they still owe a lottery protected 1st when they dumped another bad contract (blanking on his name)? And giving Porzingis a deal after a good year would be something the old group would do. Hard to imagine any other scenario other than he signs a big contract and then gets hurt. A lot.

I'm impressed they may actually flip him instead of what seems likely easily waiving him... That technically can factor into the over "haul" we get for Beal, even if it still would've been much more years ago...it ain't years ago so is what it is. Get what you can... 1 hour ago, abdcskins said: ****ty trade. Not surprised. Bradley Beal screwed us, I hate that guy. My Dad has finally seen the light and agrees with you...

Warhead36 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The mistake was not trading Beal 2-3 years ago when his value was at an all time high. Instead our FO foolishly believed he could be the center piece of a contender. There have only been three SGs that have been championship centerpieces: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade. Aka basically the three best SGs ever. Beal is not in the same universe as those guys. But at least we were able to get out of the contract and flipping Paul should allow us to salvage a bit more value. And in that respect, I don't hate the trade. The people who think we could/should have gotten multiple 1sts for Beal are probably the same ones thinking we could get a 1st for Chase Young. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profusion Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Might as well just fold the the Wizards. What's the point? I'm eligible for early retirement now, and I was about 12 years old the last the time the Bullets/Wizards mattered in the NBA.

Renegade7 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 See what I mean about the hot takes on how we got hosed? Beal and Durant don't belong in the same conversation, comparing that in lieu of saying we should've waited for a better deal sure does sound good...😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Jus seeing ESPN grade, don't care for what they gave up, jus taking that contract to say they got another all-star was desperate...it'll only be worth it for them if Beal gets he's 3pt shot back, but it's bigger deal taking cap space for current production then what they gave up, imo.
