First IMO, if you wanted Beal traded you have no right to complain. A ridiculously overpriced contract with a no trade clause equals this. You got your wish. Accept it and move on.

Second, I am having a hard time understanding the hate for this trade. We got the better player (albeit on the downside of his career, but still better than Beal), on a less expensive contract. If he isn’t done, and has a decent season, he might be a very valuable trade deadline asset.
Viva le tank! At this pace, it will never end.

It's not their fault. We all hopped that beal.wouod respect Ted when he had handed him everything he has and made him the most powerful NBA player in the league and one of the top paid. But he showed us he's a piece of ****. The reported Miami deals all included 18 of that was truly on the table it's nothing but tampering. The sun every being included screamed tampering between KD booker Beal and the agent who's sun runs the team. It's disgusting and Beal will go down as the worst villain in DC sports history for this.

They should’ve played hardball with him. Don’t let him play in another game or practice until he cooperates. The new regime shouldn’t have any loyalty to Beal. Their job is to turn things around and build a winner.

We look extremely weak, total joke of the league in the media now, terrible way to get this rebuild going.

How do you not even get one single first round pick or young player back?


This.

Sit his pampered, preening axx for the first half of the season. Let him just sit there on the bench. DNPs until the All-Star break.

Then ask him — You ready now to be reasonable?

How this guy got a no trade clause will go down as one of the biggest mysteries in NBA history. A NTC should be reserved for the elite guys (Lebron, Curry, Jokic, Giannis, etc). What a terrible return, might as well let Kuzma walk and work with KP if he opts-in on a trade near the deadline. Hopefully, for your sake the organization fully commits to a full on rebuild, no stop gaps and signing vets for "leadership" that will take mins away from the younger guys.

To all those saying why not hold onto Beal until the deadline or another year and see what you can get......well, what if his play regresses and he throws up like a 51% ts until the break? What if he gets hurt?

Those things happen and you aren't able to offload him for nothing. You are having to pay to offload him, and Washington(rightly) didn't want to take that risk.....

As for this deal now, the difference between getting *a little*(the pu pu platter from miami of maybe jovic and 1 late frp) and nothing here is you gave him the ntc and he knew phoenix wanted him. Who is to blame for him getting the ntc? not beal.......

so without the ntc you guys are still pissed because you get one late first + filler or whatever, but thats the ntc price. But anyways it doesn't make that much difference. Beal just wasnt worth much on that contract but he was still valued enough for someone to take on the contract, which *is* important.

Beal traded for the oldest PG in the NBA who cant ever finish out a season is beyond terrible .Trading Beal JUST to get out of his contract but getting no one back is a huge negative. CP3 wont start the season out with the Wizards ,he'll be gone as it will only get worst when CP3 gets nothing back when he's moved .


But weren't we worrying a bit ago that we'd have to PAY a 1st rounder just to dump that contract?

Get the feeling that Ted is still thanking Beal for re-signing

It's not their fault. It's the idiot Front Offices before them and the idiot owner, and the dumb --- fans pressuring Ted to keep Beal when anyone with a brain new Beal would leave for nothing, either as a clean FA, or via a max deal that made him John Wall untradeable.

This was known, for years, by the people with sense. The only people that didn't get it were the Front Offices unwilling to do the right thing for fear of risking their job (and losing it anyway), the idiot owner who after 20 years still has no clue how to win, and the deluded fans who kept parroting the nonsense line that Beal wanted to stay in washington for his entire career and never win ----.

The fans who believed him, and the FO's, and the owner are to blame.

It is the new F.O. that was handed a ---- sandwich, and told to eat it, who aren't.

It's as simple as that.

If you're angry at the return, be angry at the idiots who created this scenario, and those idiots have NOTHING to do with the current GM and associated figures. They're just playing w/the dog ---- hand they were dealt. You can't win any hand with a 2/7 offsuit unless you can find a FO and owner even stupider than our past few. We couldn't.

Feel bad for you guys, but I have good news. The Suns WILL fail miserably. Why they didn't opt for a re-tool around Booker and Bridges will always be a mystery to me. Same for why they did everything they could to minimize DA's trade value, and not try to work a sign and trade for him with the Pacers.

Then you have a tank commander as you roll your way to a top 4 pick.

Beal plays bad: Wiz are in same spot with him as they are without him

Beal plays good: Wiz get more value for him

Nope, this started coming from the second Wall fell in the shower. After that we had four years to avert this and managed to steer clear of the solution twice a year, every year until we drove the franchise into a brick wall. It was monstrously easy to avoid this. We just needed a GM or owner or fan base that wasn't a coward, but all 3 were.

Yeah I’m not really upset with the new FO. It’s not their fault the circus was in town for the last 20+ years. I do however believe Beal was a little brat and helped push this deal and wasn’t willing to work with us.

The only good thing is that for the first time in years, the front office has made a legitimate decision about the future of the franchise. I expect we will turn into OKC of the East.

I absolutely DO NOT want to hear: this is a business, and guys do what they do for themselves and for their families.

There’s a difference between that, and this.

This is transactional in the worst, most extreme way.

It’s: I get mine, you get squat.

Go ahead and join a joyless, gutless Durant. I will be rooting for your downfall and humiliation.

There was no upside in “holding on to Beal.” You’re not punishing him by not playing him…that’s just free money for him, and all he would do is rail the Wizards in the media for sitting him. And correct me if I’m wrong, but he had to waive the trade kicker to help facilitate this, so he did the wizards a “favor.”

Anyway, it’s a bad deal for the worst contract in the league. He didn’t want to go to Miami , he wanted to play with his boys. You can thank Ted and Sheppard for giving him the power to control where he goes.

I don't think we can blame the GM for this! It's not their fault.

Beal spit in the face of Ted. It's disgusting. He's a piece of trash.
Shanets deal is bad CP3 is movable. At the very least.

Lakers for Beasley, Bamba and #17
