The NBA offseason has begun in earnest.
Sunday’s deal sending Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards to the Phoenix Suns for a fairly meager return — Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a couple of second-round picks and a few pick swaps — officially opened the floodgates and began to set the market for the rest of the offseason.
The Wizards surely are not done as they signaled a fuller rebuild — Kristaps Porzingis can opt-in to the final year of his deal or hit free agency and if the Wizards put a deal together, they could convince him to do that and move him.
