He has the potential, but not showed anything real at all.

Don't give anything on draft spot. I'd take Haliburton over any of the players picked befor him. 
All a higher draft position does is making the contract worse.

I haven't watched much Pels bball this year but to me the issue is I don't see why you want Adams in there taking up space. If they did more 5 out style and find a stretch big that fits well with Zion then there's enough spacing for 2 play-makers that don't really have a position in Ingram and Zion. Lonzo in his role makes some since as a spacer so you could keep him and shuffle the rest as necessarily.

I would definitely shuffle the rest of the roster before I start talking ab shipping off Ingram. The best they would get back would be a younger player that's maybe not as good currently but has similar upside and a better fit with Zion long-term.

But today, I'll simply appreciate when a spoiled, entitled, unbearable Lakers fan feels the need to target your guy for a trade. It's a good sign that his perception outside of Dallas is a lot higher than you might think from only reading the negative vibes from frustrated locals.

Since that means Beal's trade value is now lower than most Washington fans think, maybe it moves the needle towards a deal.
