The trade package they got for their franchise player who they super maxed and stayed loyal to is a joke.
I know MC has made some terrible decisions lately but giving Beal (a good player but not a super star) a super max and no trade clause then getting nothing in a trade return is criminal.
Mark Bartlestien owes the Wiz a ton. Making a trade for another teams franchise player while that team gets nothing in return is something.
The lesson for MC is never give a no-trade clause. It crushed Beal’s value.
BTW, THIS is what you worry about regarding Luka’s timeline. He will absolutely stay the next two seasons, turn down his PO to be replaced by the beginning of his Super Max extension and play the 26/27 season just like Beal did. The time to worry is the summer heading into 27/28. So, the timeline isn’t this year, it is three years from now. The urgency, to me, is more about KI aging out before we add enough pieces around the two of them.
