Back in November, it was widely reported that the Washington Wizards had made every player on its roster available for trade. ESPN reported that the Wizards were even willing to trade its All-Star duo of Bradley Beal and John Wall, although both players enter the new season as members of the Washington roster.

While still keen to hit the reset button, Wall's ongoing injury troubles have made it virtually impossible for the Wizards to move his enormous deal. This leaves Beal as the man most likely to make way, and the shooting guard has so far refused to sign a new deal with the franchise.

Nevertheless, Beal's stock has never been higher following back-to-back All-Star appearances, and the Wizards will want a young talent such as Ball included in any deal. At 21, Ball would provide the Wizards with the starting piece of an ongoing long-term rebuild, while Beal's arrival in New Orleans would almost assure playoff basketball.
