I think part of the pitch for Durant needs to be looking at Lebron's career and how he has taken advantage of a weaker conference to go to the Finals so often. That's got to be on the mind of KD, especially this summer. If you look at the Eastern Conference, the only ones who look to take steps forward to anything resembling a competitive team in free agency and the draft are Indiana and us, with Detroit having a possibility of getting better. Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, and Charlotte are all looking at staying the same OR losing key contributors without adding equitable talent to replace it.

And then the Wiz can go out and try to make a deal with an Al Horford or a Ryan Anderson or a Nic Batum before making Beal's deal official.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 5m5 minutes ago

Like DA says: All signs point to the Wizards being prepared to come to a verbal agreement with Bradley Beal on a five-year max and THEN ...

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 11m11 minutes ago

Agreement on framework would allow Wizards to pursue other free agents with existing cap space, then officially re-sign Beal.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 14m14 minutes ago

Wizards, moving on from Durant, will try and hammer out framework of new deal for Bradley Beal tonight. Max would run five years, $133M.

Woah. That's interesting. There really doesn't seem to be a need to bring him back with Oladipo

.@BobbyMarks42 :

Dwight Howard likely only to get a short-term deal, but a safer bet than Hassan Whiteside.
