In most cases this is true. But Ingram isn't some superstar and at $50 million, he's a negative and you're better off with nothing than having to pay even more assets to dump him.



Is that why the Wizards had to give up 6 2nd round picks and 4 pick swaps to send Bradley Beal and his 4/$200M contract to Phoenix?

NO. It was the Wizards that recieved 6 2nd round picks and 4 1st round pick swaps for a guy with $200M left on his contract that had missed 32, 42, 22, and 15 games a year the last 4 years that shot 34.5% from 3 during that time as one of the most inefficient chuckers in the league.

Most smart NBA people at the time thought it was a very stupid trade for Phoenix.

I thought it was terrible and my post history will show that.

But you are correct, it only takes one team to think that a distressed asset of a negative player (Beal, Westbrook, etc.) could be the missing piece.

However, my personal opinion is that no one holds Ingram in that high of regard. Beal is a non-winning player who still put up much better stats than BI.

And Beal is now viewed as the worst contract in the NBA. No one will touch that and he’s stuck on the Suns. They can’t improve or change unless they trade Durant or Booker.

This is exactly what I don’t want to happen to us with Bi.
