NBA Trade Rumors: 12 surprising moves that would shake up the trade deadline

The Washington Wizards trade Bradley Beal

We’ve heard it time and time before but could this finally be the year that the Washington Wizards trade Bradley Beal? The Wizards are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference standings and seem to be a bit lost. The trio of Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, and Beal has not panned out so far this season, and there are some questions the team needs to answer about their immediate future.

If this is the core that the Wizards are going to invest big money in, there needs to be an investigation around this front office. This is not a good enough a core to make any type of impact in the East. The last year and a half have proven that.

If the Wizards do want to rebuild, trading Beal (probably sooner rather than later) is probably the team’s best bet. That said, there is a belief around the league that the team is unlikely to do that until Beal demands a trade. Maybe he does that sooner rather than later?
