I don't like this, but what if....
Halfway through the season, the Wizards are still a train wreck. Would you consider:
Favors, Burks, Bradley and draft picks ($30 million)
for
John Wall and Mahinmi ($35 million)
The Wiz decide to move on from Wall and the massive money he starts making in 2019. They also get to dump Mahinmi's $16 million for 2019-20. They get out of the luxury tax area. It's a roster reset and money saver for Washington without losing Oubre, Beal or Porter.
We go all in on a lineup of Wall, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder and Gobert. Title contender?
