TRADE: Beal+ etc. to PHX | CP3+Shamet+6 2nds+4frp swaps to WAS

[Hooper21]

I'm guessing that Ayton was offered and rejected.  Phx would have loved to get off Ayton's contract, but WAS preferred the short-term boat anchor of Paul's.

Aside from Phx, it feels like GM's around the league are understanding the implications of the new CBA, and how overpays really hurt roster construction.

Not to mention how deals like Gobert didn't put the T-Wolves any closer to win-now and likely hamper them in the future.
