Beal says Harden to Wizards in 2012 was almost a done deal

5 comments

1. Wizards FO once again shooting themselves in the foot. Wall + Harden >>>>>>>>> Wall + Beal.

2. Literally a franchise changing trade, but knowing us Harden would have got hurt and left in a couple years on this team smh.

3. imagining harden in a wizards uniform almost brings a tear to my eye

   i was at the game in 2019 where we lost to rockets 159-158 (coincedentally that same night the nats beat the astros in game 7), that game was absolutely incredible

4. I remember the OKC FO was shocked we turned down the deal

5. I loathe these types of interviews about “What-If” trades because there is so much hindsight bias involved, so much misinformation and the players can’t give objective comments on the statement. Like Beal also talking about the Bucks trade in the same interview.

   Its interesting to know but it is also just super messy.
