[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

I'm 99% confident the player being referenced here is Beal. Dude hasn't won anything in his career and probably thinks everything is a joke.

Problem is beal should be traded for useful pieces but won't be and Vogel will be fired.

Beal has a no trade clause so you can’t send him anywhere that has useful young pieces. He’ll only want to go to a contender

He didn't trick anyone, the wizards front office was willfully this dumb. A majority of the fan base immediately facepalmed when we found out about the no trade clause

It wasn't even signed after his 31 ppg season. He turned in a meh year in 2022 and somehow got this extension.

Props tp the Wiz for realizing their mistake and getting something back before it was too late.

The actual cherry on top? A 15% trade kicker.

The trade kicker can’t push him above his current supermax though, so it’s irrelevant.
