While the team is likely going to be terrible over the next two-to-three years, it at least sets a direction, and one that the fan base can get behind. Given the new CBA, plenty of expensive teams will look to shed salaries, as to ease their luxury tax payments, and the Wizards should be standing by, arms open, and offer that tax relief to teams for the price of draft picks. The cap flexibility provided for the future will open up a world of possibilities, where the Wizards can spend the next few years accumulating assets via renting out their cap space on poor deals. The Wizards are likely to suffer defeat in all three trades, but should go through it anyway to get out on the other side. Any return for Kuzma and Porziņģis will be less than their market worth, and the same could be true of Beal, simply to the contractual status of all three. Make no mistake, however, this will be a long process. Winger and Beal have to get on the same page, and map out a plan to get him elsewhere, where he has a chance to win, and the Wizards get back a youth package, setting them up for the future. We saw this scenario play out in 2007 when Kobe Bryant opted to veto a trade to the Chicago Bulls, believing that the inclusion of Luol Deng in the trade was too much for Chicago to relinquish.Īs such, the first step in getting closer to a Beal trade is communication. That means Beal pretty much determines his own future.Įven if Washington finds a trade that makes sense for all sides, Beal have veto right, and could use it if he believes the team he's going to gives up too much. The soon-to-be 30-year-old has a no-trade clause in his contract, preventing him from getting traded without his consent. Should Porziņģis pick up his option, and return for one final season, the Wizards should look to move him by their own accord. If he instead opts for long-term security, and sacrifices next year's salary, Washington should once again be open for business, and offer up Porziņģis in sign-and-trade scenarios. Unlike Kuzma, Porziņģis is looking at a payday of $36 million next season if he picks up his option. The same could be said of Porziņģis, assuming he becomes an unrestricted free agent. If he, and a team over the cap, wish to make a deal happen, the Wizards should be open to taking on a bad contract for draft pick compensation, and ship out Kuzma. Next up, it'd be prudent of the Wizards to be open to sign-and-trade arrangements for Kuzma, as his status as a likely unrestricted free agent (pending he declines his player option of $13 million) gives him all the power.
