When an NBA team is expected to make changes, we assume they’re going to rebuild.
Often, that is the case. A team trading a superstar is usually looking for as much draft capital as they can find in return for him. It’s time for them to start over.
On the other hand, retooling is an option. Some general managers don’t want to undertake a long-term rebuilding process. In that event, they may prefer to move a star for another star.
For example, take the Washington Wizards. This group is expected to make changes this summer.
Plenty of fans are ready to assume that they’ll be moving Bradley Beal for as many draft picks as they can find.
Could they move him for Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves instead?
