NBA Today: 3 NBA stars who should demand a trade

#1 Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal is in danger of wasting his prime with the Washington Wizards

Bradley Beal has spent his entire career with the Washington Wizards, although the shooting guard has yet to sign a new long term extension. With two years remaining on his current deal, now is the time for Beal to decide on his future, and the All-Star would be wise to request a trade out of Washington.

At 26, Beal is entering his prime, however, with the Wizards locked into John Wall's enormous contract, the franchise doesn't have the resources to compete with the best in the Eastern Conference. The franchise will also be without the injured Wall for the entire 2019-20 season, and a return to the playoffs appears unlikely.

After spending seven years with the Wizards, Beal won't want to severe his relationship with the fans, although directly requesting a trade may be the only way that Beal gets out before he hits free agency in 2021.
