If one of the main assets we want is in Washington, why would we need LA to get that asset from the Wizards? What’s stopping us from negotiating with them directly?

Do they have nothing besides Beal that they can or are willing to part with? Or do they not want to gamble on AD?

What’s preventing direct negotiations between us an Washington?

Washington does not want AD.
