Obviously the minimum this deal should have been from the Wizards side was

Beal for Ayton + CP3 plus multiple 2nd round picks.

Ayton is obviously a positive asset and Shamet is not. Suns say no, Beal stays in Washington for the rest of his career.

It was a  brilliant move by Washington.   Beal's contract averaging over $50m for the next four years is an albatross.  Beal's a good player, but not that good.  Maybe worth $30m?  
Assuming he stays healthy?

A slightly good trade would have been to trade for Ayton plus filler.  His $34m/yr. contract only lasts 3 more years.  And if he performs at a $20m/yr. level, he's only overpaid by $14m/yr.

But what they did was stellar - trade for Chris Paul and his $30m contract plus neutral Shamet at $10m.  Both can be finished in one year.  If Shamet actually performs better than his contract, they can keep him up to two additional years for $11m-ish.

Their future has been set free.

It might also be to their advantage for KP to opt out, but even if he doesn't, he'll be off their books in another year.
