Yah, let's look at a few metrics shall we?

WS/48: 0.012, 6th worst out of 183 qualifying players last year, just below Kent Bazemore, De'Andre Bembry, Emmanual Mudiay and Austin Rivers.

OBPM: -1.7, 15th worst out of 183 players, in the same tier as Garrett Temple, Avery Bradley, Noah Vonleh and other luminaries.

DBPM: 44th out of 183, wow! About as good as Danilo Gallinari, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kelly Oubre and other noteworthy NBA defenders.

PER: 12.4, 45th of 183 and in the company of such impactful players as Tyler Johnson, Dennis Schroder and Justise Winslow.

Yes folks, for $120 million over the next 4 years, he could be yours!

Wiggins and Harden would be quite comical to watch

Thought he was touted to become the next LeBron back in 2014.

His second and third years were actually really quite good, especially on offence. Then poof... it was all gone

Good luck to them.

They should target Beal and see if the Wizards are willing to lean into the cap disaster of Wall's deal and just collect draft picks while getting a guy that will put up some shiny scoring numbers in a lot of Ls. Offer a 1st or two and maybe a flippable role player and see what happens.

Imagine the Cavs did not trade him for Kevin Love.

What would have went down in that 2015 NBA Finals...

If Minnesota called Washington and said “we want to do Wiggins for Beal, how many firsts do we need to throw in”, I think a fair response would be somewhere between 10 and 12

Wiggins and Wall would be perhaps one of the most overpaid duos in league history

If you are Washington you probably have to seriously consider it.  That team is in cap purgatory right now.  Might as well take a bad contract and get some good draft picks while you wait it out.  I mean what is the othe option for them?   Basically wait it out.  No one is taking Wall’s contract without a goldmine.
