BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a handful of second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps

So Payne, Beal, Booker, Durant, and Ayton as the starting 5? That's a very good starting lineup, but that bench looks painfully thin. Not to mention Ayton might still want out.

Wizards look like they're finally starting a rebuild on the other hand instead of treading water. Wonder if Porzingis is up next on the trading block.

I'm not surprised to see him take his option. According to spotrac there's only 5 teams under the cap and 7 teams with practical cap space so not a lot of possible suitors. He gets more money overall by waiting until next offseason to pursue a 2-3 year deal before retiring.

Community's still pretty new and there's not much in the way of mobile apps for Lemmy right now. Probably would have been more posters otherwise. I can't even login on my ipad through the browser, haven't been able to figure out why yet.

Moving Beal saves them a lot of contract space since they can waive Chris Paul before the 28th. Kuzma and Porzingis both have player options, but after next season the biggest contracts they have are Gafford and Shamet. It looks like the Wizards owe the Knicks a first round pick, but they have a good chance at landing high picks in the next few seasons otherwise.

Do you think Giannis and Tatum go anywhere next year?

Reply in thread

I don't think Giannis is going anywhere, but the Bucks window for contention is pretty short. Lopez is the perfect frontcourt partner for Giannis and I'm skeptical they can find anyone near as ideal a fit if he doesn't re-sign this offseason. Not to mention Jrue and Khris are both in their 30's and starting to decline. If Mil doesn't make some good signings or trades then they could become a non-contender faster than people might expect.

Whitmore falling has to be one of the bigger surprises. Think he was still being mocked in the top ten before today. Also happy to see Strawther go in the first round, to the Nuggets no less.
