[HoopsHype] (On a D’Angelo Russell trade) One team that could make sense is the Wizards who, for example, could put together matching salaries through a combination of Will Barton, Monte Morris, and Delon Wright.



>It’s hard to identify teams in need of a starting point guard where Russell presents an upgrade.

>Trade will likely be their main avenue toward acquiring a new starting point guard, and this framework keeps them close enough to the tax that they could stay below it with some additional maneuvering.

    Wizards are just allergic to playing defense

  2. biinroii01

    D’Lo, Beal, Porzingis

    that was like my 2K17 core

  3. onepokemanz

    The wizards are master traders I believe in them to make d lo value rise and get a first out of him in a year

  4. Vswerve27

    Doesn’t make any sense. Wiz would have Dlo Kuzma and KP as UFAs this year lol

  5. moons_a_skull

    Andrew Wiggins and a likely lottery pick that became Jonathan Kuminga were traded for this man.

  6. moons_a_skull

    Wizards could only justify this type of move if Beal is gone:

  7. Wiz just get worse on defense and it adds another iso player to an already iso heavy team. This arguably makes the team worse

  8. waskittenman

    yeah no fucking thanks lol. D’lo would be Spencer Dinwiddie part 2

  9. 4bounce_kawhi

    Just plugging players in until the salary matches doesn’t mean you should make a trade

  10. Disastrous_Issue

    Will Barton and Tim Connelly reunion let’s go!

  11. kasaan110

    Cool idea but is Washington about to trade picks too tho. Uhh no

  12. perkinsfor3

    If you cant win with one Beal, try TWO Beals.

  13. BoneyardBill

    Wiz trade not very good defense players for a no defense player. I don’t see the point.

  14. becauseican15

    Get Jordan Goodwin from them. He’s perfect next to Ant

  15. Sumo_Cerebro

    Back to Brooklyn for Joe Harris and Curry.

    D’Lo is at his best off the ball where he can catch and shoot. And a lineup with him and the Nets’ big 3 is spooky.

  16. Minnesota desperately trying to find a team stupider than they are.

    Wiz should offer them Beal and strip mine the rest of the Wolves assets.

  17. xHESKEYx

    Lmao cmon now don’t try and foist this man on the wiz

    Why would the Wizards give up both Morris AND Barton? They’d get Russell in return and have no NBA certified backup at the point.

    Seems like it’d be a steal for the Wolves. Although I am sure they can find a better deal.

  19. The Wiz need Delon Wright much more than D’Lo – Wiz are 8-2 with Wright, 9-20 without him.
