Yeah but before the Boston offer, Portland would have been an upgrade to Washington…Zingis had to agree to wherever he got traded to

He’s also an injury prone player with a big one year deal… not the easiest guy to trade. Wiz did fine… they will likely flip Jones or one of their other pgs for some assets too.Zingis had to agree to wherever he got traded to
They are… beat writers are all on board too.I bet wizard fans are actually pretty stoked to have a clear direction now. They have been stuck in no man's land for years. The good part is this also makes their 1st rd pick to the Knicks likely to never convey.
Wiz also did this to themselves after deciding to trade beal now. They could've kept Beal for the time being to give themselves more leverage in negotiation with Zingis instead they pulled the trigger too early, got nothing in return for beal AND lost all of their hope in bringing back Zingis, which basically turned one no trade clause into two. What they should’ve done is keep Beal for the summer, tell zingis they are running it back and trick him into signing a new deal with them, then they would have more leverage once he resigns. They can pivot at anytime. We traded Rudy literally one year and six months after he sign a new deal with us.Zingis had to agree to wherever he got traded to
You cant gain leverage on a guy with a no trade clause who is perfectly fine just playing basketball for your team.Wiz also did this to themselves after deciding to trade beal now.

Now I bet Kuz ain't coming back either. They lose all three guys for basically nothing.
I think we have a good chance of the double trade up… 9 and a future pick for 5 and 16, 28, KO for 10. I’d hope for Black and Bufkin but maybe it’s black and Bilal or Walker and Bufkin… some good combos possible.
I've been telling yall Orlando at 6 makes too much sense, especially if Ausar is off the board at 5.
This is ideal.. they should do it.I've been telling yall Orlando at 6 makes too much sense, especially if Ausar is off the board at 5.
Kansas City Shuffle.The other GM's are chasing after what Ainge wants...
Cam and Bufkin ftwI think we have a good chance of the double trade up… 9 and a future pick for 5 and 16, 28, KO for 10. I’d hope for Black and Bufkin but maybe it’s black and Bilal or Walker and Bufkin… some good combos possible.
I dont think it changes all that much for Utah.This is ideal.. they should do it.
