Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
With that said the Wizards have their reasons to hesitate in moving Beal.
Let’s just be diplomatic and say this: the Wizards are not the most popular team in the NBA. Realistically, they may not be able to sustain a long-term tank job like some bigger market teams can.
Luckily, this team is partly designed to help them avoid that. Maxey is younger than Beal, and won’t be ready to carry a contender. Still, he should keep the Wizards relevant.
For that matter, so will Harris. He’s largely included here to make the money work, but if the Wizards want to avoid the NBA’s basement, he’ll help.
