Bradley Beal will be traded

Washington Wizards all-star Bradley Beal is an interesting name to keep an eye on heading into the 2019 NBA Draft. His name has already popped up in potential trade talks over the last few months, and could again pop up in the rumor mill on NBA Draft night.

In fact, I will go on to predict that the Wizards will move Beal Thursday night. I’m not sure where he’ll land or what the deal will be but I believe Washington will want to hit the reset button, and moving Beal would be the first step in doing so.

Beal is at the top of his game and is arguably a top 5 player at his position. His trade value is at the highest that it will ever be – arguably – and if the Wizards are looking. to cash in on is development in the trade market, now is the time to strike a deal.

The Wizards will make a big move on draft night, and it will revolve around the team moving on from Bradley Beal.
