Any halfway decent GM would've traded him two years ago. Beal hasn't helped them win anyway, there's no real pathway for them to transform into a contender, they're paying him 50 mil a year which drastically reduces his return if(when) he requests a trade AND he's got a NTC so he's only going where he wants to go, further diminishing his value.

Yikes. Talk about a contract that was bad as soon as the ink was dry

I mean Jesus Christ everyone knew this was gonna happen and their old GM did it anyway, that man should be up on charges for what he did to the Wizards franchise

That contract is the definition of poison pill

With the NTC on top of it


At least the Wizards are free. The growing pains will be worth it in 2 years

Awful situation to be in for Washington. And it's all because of the NTC. DJ Murray commanded 3 firsts, Toronto was asking for multiple picks for OG, and even Chicago put it out there that Caruso's starting asking price is 2 firsts.

The return Washington got for Beal is seriously one of the worst I've ever seen for a prime max player. We have to see what CP3 can net them but I'd be numb as a fan after this

THERE IS ONE absolute certainty as the Suns approach what might be a summer of major change: Booker will not be traded.

This fascination with Booker is wild to me

Fan favorite, moves a lot of merchandise, still on the right side of 30. Him remaining on the roster might be the only way to get any future free agents to even consider Phoenix at all.

Team probably needs to be blown up though but impatient new owner not ready to be a 60 loss lottery team for the rest of the decade.

Every time I see this thread upped I have to

Someone really thought giving Beal a super max and NTC was something they should do
