In mid June of last year, the Washington Wizards made their biggest trade to officially kick off their current rebuild by trading Bradley Beal, Isaiah Todd and Jordan Goodwin to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, some first round draft pick swaps and second round picks. Paul was later traded to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole.
We aren’t quite one calendar year removed from the Beal trade. But both the Wizards’ and Suns’ seasons are now over. So which team is winning the deal?
