I think if you're going to trade Andrew, you don't want to take on even more salary.

I got the numbers from basketball insiders but here is the difference in salary between paying Wiggins and Wall the next 4 years. I'm making an assumption Wall opts into the 47 million on his last year.

2019-2020 10,645,370
2020-2021 11,659,990
2021-2022 12,674,610
2022-2023 13,689,230
Total 48,669,200

That's why I wouldn't even consider dealing Wiggins or anyone else on our roster for Wall. I'm not even sure he'd be worth that salary differential even if he weren't coming off an Achilles tear. But he's definitely not worth it given his injury and surgery.

I agree with you 100%. Would you acquire Wall if it means we got Beal back. Meaning Wall and Beal for Wiggins/Okogie/KBD/Saric/Teague/1st round pick (assuming it's not top 2). Assuming the wizards would accept it.

Yeah, I'd love to jettison Wiggins, but not if what we get is John Wall.
