Might as well ride them out with the tank unless some team is willing to take them off your hands for cheap cheap.
Assuming Bey has regained his old form after knee surgery (which is not unlikely for youngish players these days), I think he has positive value at just $7M a year. That guy is a real rotation player.
IDK man. He was a promising rookie but then just never developed beyond a guy who wants to take shots and do not much of anything else. There is a reason he's on that contract. If he was worth more pre-injury some team would have given it to him. So he wasn't. Certainly not worth it now.
But then the OP asks a team to take two guys like this when you should only have one in a rotation, suddenly contracts that are somewhat overpaid become even more so and tie up a roster spot.
Would be better for the OP to try and dump them apart. I wouldn't even try on Bey who they'd definitely have to pay to dump at this point. I'd at least see if a team wanted to turn a meh expiring in Kispert. But I suspect it would cost something and Washington shouldn't be paying to dump salary.
Totally agree that their skill set is redundant and too only move one. However, your logic with Bey is off :
If he was worth more pre-injury some team would have given it to him. So he wasn't. Certainly not worth it now.
He tore his ACL last March and then hit FA in the summer. Anyone that signed him knew he was out for the year most likely.
The value proposition is simple. We gave him 6.5M this year and a full staff to rehab. In exchange, we have him locked up for 6M/year for the following two years.
If he returns to form, then you have prime Harrison Barnes (Offensively) for a 50-70% discount. Patrick Williams, KCP, Klay, etc. all signed for 17-22M/year and are not as good as that proposition.
