Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
Actually, the Wizards could have two motivations here.
They could be triggering a rebuild. Some will argue against this trade in that event. Avdija is young – why move a good player like him if you’re starting over?
Well, the Wizards could easily feel that two unprotected firsts are simply worth more to them. If they move Bradley Beal in a separate transaction, they could get a lot more draft capital and assemble an impressive collection.
On the other hand, this could be chess instead of checkers. The Wizards could reason that if they want to trade for a star to pair with Beal, they need draft capital more than Avdija.
