While we haven't been able to see much of them in the last couple of years, the Washington Wizards once had one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Shooting guard Bradley Beal and point guard John Wall share amazing chemistry on the court, and both players have the ability to switch their respective roles of scoring and playmaking.

Before John Wall's Achilles injury, the duo was one of the most lethal combinations in the league, and the latest NBA Trade Rumors indicate that the partnership could soon come to an end.

As per David Aldridge of 'The Athletic', Beal and Wall are not willing to play together for the Washington Wizards next season.
