The wizards value favors over Portis which is why they tried to get him in trade talks with jazz ultimately breaking down and sending him to Chicago instead for Portis. Portis wants about 16 mil cause he turned down an extension in Chicago which is another reason for him being traded to Washington. Wizards don’t want to pay that much and are about to lose both their forwards for nothing. A sign and trade gives them two decent forwards in ingles and favors to replace the guys they are going to lose either way. It’s not a gamble on whether or not you get an RFA if they do a sign and trade. Maybe get them to throw in a pick and we got three young forwards to replace an aging one and one that is great but doesnt fit.
