Capital Punishment: The grim logic behind the Washington trades and what it means for the Raptors and Pascal Siakam

The Washington Wizards are really going for it aren’t they?

They traded Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis and Chris Paul in about 48 hours and all of the deals are, to some degree or another, head-scratching.

They trade Bradley Beal, a guy who has a 30ppg season his resume, is a three-time All-Star and has made an all NBA team and all they got was a handful of seconds, and the right for Chris Paul to be pissed off at their young players? (Oh and Lanry Shamet - that’s right I left out the “d” just like he does).
