1. All of the Wizards

The Washington Wizards could benefit from a change of scenery. Not collectively, Washington is a lovely city and has been supportive of a team that isn’t easy to love. I mean the players. All of them. They’d all be better off somewhere else.

The triumvirate of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. have clearly run their course and with Wall out for the rest of the season, there’s enough of an excuse to go whole hog on breaking things down. The problem is that all three of those players are on enormous deals and that Wall happens to pair the biggest deal with the least trade value.

Next. Kyrie, LeBron, and the question of leadership. dark

The Wizards would probably like to trade Wall. If they do find a willing trade partner, they may have to include other valuable assets to get it done. If they can’t find anyone to take Wall, they may have to move Beal or Porter Jr. just to shake up the malaise that’s settled over this team. But really, they all should get out — Ian Mahinmi, Tomas Satoransky, Jeff Green. Let’s just disband the team and let these guys go their separate ways.
