Bradley Beal was the first domino to fall for the Washington Wizards when he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. After over a decade of mediocrity, Washington is finally entering a rebuild, and their supermaxed franchise guard was the first piece out the door. Almost nobody on the roster is safe, so expect a serious shake-up over the next two months.
With the Wizards set to field an uncompetitive — or “developmental,” to put it nicely — roster for the foreseeable future, it is my firm belief that they should take a flyer on one of the league’s more disappointing young players.
