Washington Wizards Receive: G/F Malik Beasley, C Mo Bamba, 2029 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Kyle Kuzma
That’s not to say we blame the Lakers for acquiring Davis. When you have that type of opportunity, you need to take it.
Otherwise, you can get stagnant. The last thing an NBA team wants to do is get stuck in the middle. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get out of that position.
Just look at the Wizards. This team was stuck in the middle for a long time. If they’d opted to make a bold decision sooner, they could have gotten more value for Bradley Beal.
They didn’t. As a result, the Wizards had to practically give Beal to the Phoenix Suns. This should be a cautionary tale for NBA GMs.
