The Wiz literally got a handful of magic beans for Beal and KP, and Collins is not all that. In fact, neither is Capella. Okongwu is one year away from requiring a 20mil/contract despite only being potential.
Sorry, my guy, but young and cheap is the new CBA market efficiency. I'm not a big Lively fan but I'll take him on a 4yr/22mil deal any day over Okongwu, a rapidly aging Capella or anything to do with Collins.
Agree with you but Beal shouldn't be part of the conversation as his no-trade clause sapped a ton of value the Wizards could have gotten for him.
RE: Collins, I guess it depends what you consider buy low. I tend to toss out players that have gotten paid big second contracts from that definition. See: Ayton, Collins.
