The Wizards GM Will Dawkins pulled off a masterclass in asset management
He turned:
- Bradley Beal’s awful contract into Chris Paul
- Immediately flipped Chris Paul for Jordan Poole
- Waited a season to let Poole get his value up
- Traded him to the Pelicans for CJ McCollum’s expiring contract
- traded Kyle Kuzma at max value to the Bucks for Khris Middleton’s soon to be expiring contract
- used McCollums contract to buy low on Trae Young
- used Middletons contract to buy low on Anthony Davis
All while drafting Alex Sarr, Keyonte George, and Tre Johnson while making these moves
This is a masterclass in nba contract management and shows the value of expiring contracts. Incredible
