The Washington Wizards traded Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis during a summer of major change, but the organization’s new front office made two significant financial investments that averted a full-fledged rebuilding effort.
“This is a business. People come and go. Jobs flip or whatever,” Kuzma said. “I love what Ted did from the standpoint of his hires. He did a phenomenal job of dissecting what he wanted Monumental Sports to be. He’s got guys who know what they’re doing. That’s obviously appealing to me. I’m a professional person, and they’re very professional people.”
“Us winning a championship your third year and us fighting to the end this past year, I can’t wait to see you blossom,”Poole tried to take the high road when asked about his Warriors exit, dodging multiple questions about the incident with Green and whether he felt Golden State was forced to choose between the two players.
“How he handled everything … with the professionalism and the character and the substance to get through that stuff, you want to be around someone like that,” Dawkins said of Poole. The eventual deal with Phoenix, which was Beal’s preferred destination, was “mutually beneficial,” the first-time general manager said. Though five days passed between Washington’s trade of Beal to Phoenix and its trade with Golden State for Poole, Dawkins said the moves were “interconnected.”
