If you didn't see this coming you haven't been paying attention to the NBA in recent years. Players first sign for the absolute max, and then if they so desire they demand a trade. Teams that try to resist giving into the players' trade demands always end up caving in. The 76ers lasted the longest with Ben Simmons this past season, but of course ended up giving in.

$50 million a year is way too much money to be paying Bradley Beal for his thirties and if the Wizards are smart they will trade him and rebuild properly as soon as they can.
