The super max was bad enough but did they really need to double down?

Did they really think he was a superstar or something?

Make it make sense

I can see the Sixers and Houston throwing the kitchen sink at the Wiz to get him

His contract is horrible though and he's not in the top-tier of ballers

Because they're woefully incompetent.

Harris will work.

Not just the no trade clause but why pay him that much to begin with? It was just a terrible move all around... Washington might not want to admit it but their best path forward is a full rebuild

Oh, what was that? They'd rather treadmill because the owner is more concerned with money?

Uh okay... Well guess what? Washington has failed at treadmilling as well and has been bottom 10 attendance the last 3 full seasons that the league has had...

they respect each other's time put in,,,,,like lillard and por

The same reason the Pistons made Monty Williams the highest paid coach in history.

Poverty Franchises have to make overpayments and give out extravagant rewards to keep people around

He is the only player in the nba right now with a no trade cause… says a lot about the people in charge and their ability to create a winning team.

The problem is they didn’t have to do that. You should be rebuilding.

Because the last GM of the wizards thought it would be better to have an all star to sell tickets than trying to get going on the necessary rebuild

Because they're a bad franchise that makes bad decisions.

Why did the LA Lakers give Kyle Kuzma a player option?

Better question is why did they give him supermax. Even Beal said there wasnt really market for him

Never assume people in charge are actually competent.

Poorly run franchises make inept decisions.

They are a small market team and the only way they can keep good players is to overpay. Same reason why the paid Juwan Howard 7 years 100mm contract back in 96.

The older I get the more I realize how true this is.

Giving out the no trade clause is inexplicably terrible. They absolutely had to know the contract was a questionable one in the first place and then they add on the ntc. Even if they manage to find a trade for Beal they’re going to get a lower return because he’ll probably only approve trades to like 7 teams.

The Wiz seem like they might finally be turning the corner but the fish usually stinks from the head, and the head (Leonsis) is still there.

Because they are poorly run?
