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.
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.
Betting on Minnesota's incompetence is not that risky of a proposition lol. Something like Wiggins + #11 + unprotected 2021 or 22 1st for Beal probably doesn't look too bad with what the Wizards are staring down. If it's not enough push for including Saric or Okogie.
Beal has two years left on his deal. They should be able to get something comparable to that offer without taking on Wiggins’ contract for the next four years.
It depends on if one thinks Wiggins will have negative future on-court value as a player, or at least talk themselves into thinking he could realize his potential in a new situation. If you can, and the contract matters less to you because your cap's already screwed, then he's a roll of the dice rather than a massive cost to eat.
It's pretty crazy that the conventional wisdom is that he will be a negative contributor for good, that he's irredeemable as an effective player - he's earned it, but there's still a ton of talent under the bad habits and attitude. And everyone knows he can at least put up empty scoring numbers, which can matter for ticket sales.
Playing devil's advocate on myself, though, if Washington did want to rebuild through high draft picks, they'd probably not want max contract vets parked at PG and wing to suck up their minutes and shots. So perhaps not. Still think the Timberwolves ought to kick that tire pretty hard, it's about a best case for return.
