The Washington Wizards have a star on their roster, who has developed into one of the most consistent shooting guards in all of the NBA, in Bradley Beal. With John Wall consistently plagued by a large number of injuries, Beal has always stepped up in his absence and tried to push the franchise forward.
Beal played all 82 matches for the Wizards last season, averaging 25.6 points, 5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, taking a leap from his last season and getting his 2nd call for the All-Star game.
With John Wall starting his super max contract next season and is also considered to be a non factor for most of it with his injury, the Wizards have absolutely no room to build around Beal and compete for the playoffs and are on track to miss them in the 2019-20 season as well.
Wizards have also gotten rid of their long-time General Manager Ernie Grunfeld, this seems like the best time for Bradley Beal to request for a trade and move a team that is looking to be a contender this season. Here are three teams that should look to trade for Bradley Beal this season:
#3 New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans have vaulted into becoming one of biggest players in the coming years of the NBA. They have a stockpile of draft picks and young talented players that have great potential.
With Zion Williamson, the Pelicans have already become the team to look out for in the near future and they also have the best assets if they decide to drastically alter their timeline.
One player that can help them out big time can be Bradley Beal. He is one of best guards on a team with a bleak outlook in front of them and are teetering on the verge of a rebuild.
The Pelicans can ship out multiple first round picks in order to have a fearsome three-guard lineup featuring Jrue Holiday, Lonzo Ball and Beal, without even batting an eyelid.
Hypothetical deal:
New Orleans Pelicans get: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards get: E'Twaun Moore, 2021 Los Angeles Lakers 1st round pick and 2020 Milwaukee Bucks 2nd round pick.
#2 Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are now officially without Kyrie Irving and Al Horford. They managed to sign Kemba Walker to a maximum contract and will be looking to be a big player in the trade market as well.
Danny Ainge is a really shrewd GM and with a armada of draft picks and young players, the Celtics can make a solid move for the Washington Wizards star, Bradley Beal.
The Celtics probably have a good package when it comes to this trade, with the Wizards getting exactly what they need to rebuild: Young players and draft picks.
The Celtics can return to the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference again with this trade as a player of Beal's skills can make them of the better teams in the NBA once again.
Hypothetical trade:
Boston Celtics get: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards get: Jaylen Brown, 2020 Memphis Grizzlies first round pick and 2020 Atlanta Hawks second round pick
#1 Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets were one of the best teams in the Western Conference last season, finishing second in the regular season with a solid performance while narrowly missing out on a conference Finals berth, losing to the Portland Trail Blazers in round 2.
The Nuggets will be looking to get their revenge and continue to become an even better roster and the addition of a superstar like Bradley Beal will make their team instant title contenders.
With Nikola Jokic handling playmaking responsibilities, the Nuggets will have an elite and consistent scorer in Beal, alongside the young and coming Jamal Murray.
The Denver Nuggets can give up a player such as Gary Harris, who has been a good player for the Nuggets but would need more touches and play through him to become a better player.
The Nuggets will have to give up young players like Michael Porter Jr and Juan Hernangomez to boost the value of this deal and to help match salaries so that the deal can go through.
The Wizards, with this deal, get to rebuild on the fly as they look to have John Wall next to a young and improving shooter in Harris.
Porter Jr. can also become the player he was touted to be coming into college. Hernangomez can become a solid rotation piece as they will look to push for the playoffs with this team.
Hypothetical deal:
Denver Nuggets get: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards get: Gary Harris, Michael Porter Jr. and Juan Hernangomez
