The Wizards have been terrible this season and it doesn’t look like it is going to get any better any time soon.
It has gotten to the point they are ready to trade one or both of their star players.
As the Washington Wizards’ season spirals, the franchise has started to deliver teams an impression that every player on their roster — including All-Star guards John Wall and Bradley Beal — is available for discussion in trade scenarios, league sources told ESPN.
Washington’s preference remains to reshape the team around Wall and Beal, but poor play among key teammates is limiting their trade value and paralyzing the Wizards’ efforts to make meaningful changes to a roster that no longer appears functional together, league sources said.
Teams will have much more interest in Beal than Wall, it is pure economics.
Beal is younger and on a more manageable contract. After this year Wall’s supermax extension will kick in that averages more than $40+ million for the next four years.
If the Wizards get an offer that seems reasonable for Wall they should take it now.
