Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
The Wizards probably should not do this deal. We’ll be completely honest about that.
They should probably rebuild. At 18-24, this team is one spot below the Raptors in the standings. It’s probably time to ship Bradley Beal off and move on.
Only, the Wizards don’t seem intent on doing so. This team is stubbornly forging on with Beal as their franchise player. If that’s the plan, they might as well acquire a starting-caliber point guard.
Plus – who knows? A core of Beal, VanVleet, and Kristaps Porzingis could win some games. This is a talented group.
