According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Washington Wizards are preparing to hit the self-destruct button after a disastrous start to the season that Dwight Howard somehow didn’t fix single-handedly. Their star-studded backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal are available, but should the Los Angeles Lakers be interested in teaming either player up with LeBron James? In short, probably not.
Let’s start with some background on this.
Washington has a ton of individual talent across its roster. Beal and Wall will obviously garner the headlines and speculation, but Otto Porter has shown all kinds of promise at an important position, and even Kelly Oubre is an enticing young piece.
