Bradley Beal, Jordan Goodwin & Isaiah Todd TRADED to the Phoenix Suns for CP3, Shamet, six 2nd rounders, & pick swaps

[NatP4]

How is that better than just hanging onto him? One of the worst trades I have ever seen.

[The Consiglieri]

It looks like the new management still wants to be perceived as nice guys who work collaboratively with players and agents. Exactly what has that done for us in the past 20 years?

I know you're not that new. It's forty plus years.

Beal for trash and 2nd round picks is so terrible it's funny. Being a wizards fan is some sort of self flagellation, except I'm not getting closer to God I'm just hurting myself

[badinage]

Bradley Beal has shown us who he is.

As a player on the court, he leaves much to be desired. But this action reveals his character in full.

What an act of grubby crassness. What a burning of bridges.

And what does it tell us about all those years of professing loyalty and love for the city? It tells us it was a fraud.

May the fans burn his Jersey as Cavs fans did Lebron’s.

May his number never hang in the rafters.

May his face be scrubbed immediately of all websites.

May he be booed lustily every time he touches the ball at Verizon Center.

May the Suns brazen act fail miserably, and end in dysfunction and implosion.

Really wanted to be excited about this new FO

Everyone should’ve seen this coming from Beal. He basically held this team hostage with his back and forth over the last couple of seasons. And again, Westbrook came in here for a season and made this HIS team. Beal is nothing more than a Robin or Batgirl.

[Darthlukey]

Bad luck guys, kinda hoped the wiz would hold out for at least 1 asset of value

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt on the Arenas signing.

[PaulinVA]

This is the final "dividend" of the dumbest contract in the history of professional sports.

At least it's FINALLY over and we can all stop begging for the tank, for the tank is assuredly en route.

[keynote]

I don't see how this is better than standing pat until the deadline, or even until next year.

It's an awful trade, but I'm still happy to have him off the team.

If Porzingis opts in for a trade and we let Kuzma walk, we're in full tank mode -- and Beal isn't nearly good enough to derail that. I'd rather keep him and at least get a pick. The offers weren't going to get worse than this.

[Endless Loop]

Terrible deal. New management wanting to make a splash just dove from 50 feet up into the shallow end of the pool. Should have been patient.

They got nothing back.

[AFM]

So was Miami never in play? Literally any hypothetical Miami package was a better return. I guess that means Beal took MIA off the table and forced a trade to PHX.

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.

Wiz were staring a trade like this in the face from the moment they signed Beal to that idiotic contract.

[badinage]

And: I really don’t want to hear considered takes on Beal right now.

Maybe in a while, sure.

A couple years.

Not now. This is disgraceful. Absolutely a gutless act against the team that drafted him, developed him, gave him the keys to the franchise, and gave him an insane amount of money (more than a player of his talent should ever have gotten).

Vindictive. Ruthless.

He will get his. I hope he knows that.

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?

[tleikheen]

This front office 1st move grades out as a ...... F ...... 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 .

[popper]

Any ideas on how we get rid of CP? Also is Shamet worth keeping or do we need to clear him as well?

[badinage]

The NBA needs to investigate this deal.

Josh Bartelstein is the Suns’ assistant GM. He’s also Mark Bartelstein’s son. Mark Bartelstein is Benedict Beal’s agent.
