What happens first?

TRADE:

PELS RECEIVE: Otto Porter SF, John Wall PG

WIZARDS RECEIVE: Niko, Moore, Wesley Johnson, Solomon Hill
2019 unprotected 1st, 2021 unprotected 1st round pick. Throw in Frank Jackson if we have to.

You have:
PG Wall
SG Holiday
SF Porter Jr
PF Davis
C Randle

Bench: Elfrid, Miller, Diallo, Jackson possibly.

Questions: Could we resign Randle and AD and still have a deep roster for 2020? Would the Wizards do this trade? Is Wall’s contract too much for the PELS to swallow? Are the PELS much better if they did this trade?

I think the Wizards would consider this offer. It gives them a lot of flexibility with potential to resign Niko and have two extra 1st round picks plus Moore is great value and has another year on his contract. They would have assets for the future and potentially a great chance to rebuild. They trade Wall, a player who has had a lot of conflict and a player who would be hard to trade because of his contract and many teams have PGs that are working well for them.

AD would be thrilled if we got Wall and Porter. We would have a huge upgrade at PG and SF. Porter is a very good 3 point shooter and defender. Wall would do just fine playing with Jrue and AD. He can do it all and we would be so much tougher to beat. Niko and Moore are luxuries. We already have Randle and AD and we would get a big SF who can shoot and play defense which is a bigger need. Moore is a blue collar SG who would be a backup to Jrue. We need better STARTERS. Frazier and Elfrid are not good enough. So, getting a multiple all star vet pg in Wall would change everything. I know y’all will be critical of this opinion but it makes sense to me. We have subpar players at PG and SF. We won’t keep AD if we can’t pull off a trade that addresses this problem.

Giving up Niko and Moore and two unprotected firsts for a deal with John Walls albatross contract as the centrepiece? Nah.

This. Washington should be GIVING US the 1st taking back Wall and Porter. Both are overpaid and Wall might be top 5 worst deals in the league.

I'm not even sure that deal works. Wall and Porter is a lot of money.

No way, we would have a 150+ million dollar roster once AD's supermax kicks in for just the 5 starters. That's just not feasible.

I like the home run mentality, but yeah as others have said, giving up any unprotected firsts in a deal like this is not realistic or wise.

The same trade without any 1sts involved, maybe a 2nd if needed, would be interesting. Although paying that much to AD/Wall/Porter/Jrue basically ensures not being able to re-sign Randle. Definitely interesting to think about.

What I want to know is this the John Wall the Pels will get from this season or has he always been a bad defender?

[Silver Nail]

To be honest, I would say no to this trade if we were receiving the 2 firsts, much less giving them.

It’s an offensive league now.

Still need to be capable of playing decent defense. There's a reason all of the bottom of the bin teams just so happen to be the bottom of the defensive rating stats, with very few exceptions.
