I mean objectively they could’ve pretty much had any player that was available for trade this off season and ended up doing absolutely nothing I don’t understand what was Pat Riley’s thought process genuinely

Nope, not true. He thought Wiz were gonna trade him to Miami so he veto’d it and said he wanted Phoenix. Wiz and Miami talks had gone to a stand still on a trade because Miami were hesitant to give up certain players and kept trying to offload Lowry and Robinson as part of the package.

That’s when Ishiba jumped in and said they HAD to get Beal and put it to James Jones to get it done.

Beal specifically got to choose what was added and not added to the trade with Phoenix since he requested directly to go there. Hence why he took Jordan Goodwin with him as well.
