This move sounds awesome if the Wizards are looking to rebuild intelligently. An extra pick in a deep draft, excellent. Three rotation players on market value contracts that can be moved individually over coming seasons, or as cap ballast in larger moves.
All for a guy who had negative value four months ago.

If it's true, I wish a Western Conference Championship to the Lakers - something I've probably never said or thought before.

You can always believe what Tommy says.

Hey, GM's sometimes stretch the truth.
And sometimes flat out lie.

Didn't realize Spencer is only 27.
He also has family here in the area.

Dinwiddie, Draft pick, Winston
Beal, Caldwell-Pope, Mathews
Avdija, Draft pick
Hachimura, Bertans
Gafford, Bryant
Not sure what the goal is if were retooling around Beal. .500?

This is insane! I spend all off-season thinking through different moves and then all of this happens. I can't even process everything right now lol.

KCP and his wife are good friends with Beal and his wife.
Deni Avdija will be our point guard

But with the rumored swap for Dinwiddie as well, the trio of Beal/KCP/Dinwiddie (all age 27) would be a dynamic backcourt of combo guards that rebound, play defense, handle a bit. I can see Wes doing something with that, if it weren't simply loading up for another trade. Or providing back-up for the idea that we might lose Brad, I suppose.

In Tommy's defense, he did say this isn't a team that you "run it back" with lol.

This is a total nothing trade.
All this does is set the stage for a Beal exit.

Re: Wiz and Lakers are involved in trade talks to send Westbrook to Lakers *Talks Now Serious*
we should definitely push for the 1st. Rumors are Lakers are also shopping similar deal to Sac for Buddy Hield.
If you're the Lake-show, I think you want Russ more than Hield.
on the other hand, it's going to be messy in DC if this deal now falls apart...

If you're Brad, why play along with this?
Guess we'll have to see what else is coming.
