Count me in. Not sure that they bite mainly because they still have Wall's deal so not sure they are ready to rebuild, but it does give them a little of both.
Is that better than what someone else could offer? You can bet IF they were willing to move him there would be some big time offers for Beal who has turned into a really damn good player....which is partly why I doubt Washington is going to give him up until they are forced to.
Maybe, but you can't really GM like that. Can't manage your roster and anticipate being outbid by other teams in trade negotiations or even in free agency. Not to mention the Wizards are the ones evaluating the return. What if they see Donovan Mitchell potential in Josh Okogie? What if they still believe in Andrew Wiggins? My point is that you can't take yourself out of the bidding process beforehand.
And if you can generate interest with an offer -- ie. get a nibble, as I said -- then you can go from there and figure out exactly what they'd let him go for. That's how you play the game.
You asked if I thought the Wizards would take a nibble I answered with my thoughts. I'm not knocking the idea just what I think. I have zero problems with making offers...although I fully admit I would not be as aggressive as I should be if I was a GM but yes you gotta make some calls.

They turned down Jimmy Butler in a package for Beal. They don't want anything else we have. If they wanted Wiggins then, don't you think he'd be there now?

Absolutely no chance.
0%. Zilch. Nada. Nope. Nil. NO.
