Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

I understand that Bradley Beal just signed a huge contract extension with the Washington Wizards but he’s a name that has constantly been a candidate for potentially asking for a trade. And if the Wizards are a failure this season, which wouldn’t be all that surprising considering how deep the Eastern Conference is, Beal could look to try his hand elsewhere.

The Wizards are going to do their best to try and continue to surround Beal with the necessary talent he needs to win, but they haven’t been able to do so and there isn’t any indication that that’s going to change any time soon.

If Beal wants to win and possibly compete for a championship, it will likely have to come on another team. Beal could just be buying his time until he eventually demands a trade. OR, he could be perfectly content in Washington.
