NBA Trade Rumors: 7 stars whose futures are in limbo that could be on the move next
Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards are likely going to sneak into the Play-In Tournament but it would be quite surprising if they found a way to play into the NBA Playoffs. It’s unlikely to happen and because of that, it will only bring about more questions for this team heading into the offseason. And as you would expect, the questions are going to be centered around Bradley Beal.
Beal is an interesting player. He has constantly said that he wants to win and win in Washington but then he’ll drop hints here and there that bring about the rumor mill once again. Beal is a really good player on a team that is far from competing in the Eastern Conference. You’d have to wonder if there is a breaking point for Beal. If there is ever one, this could possibly be the offseason for it.
Beal signed his big extension with the Wizards already and there’s really no downside to demanding or requesting a trade away from the team. And with how loyal he’s been to the Wizards in recent years, you’d have to imagine that the team would do right by him.
Really, the ball is in Beal’s court. In that aspect, he’s a bit different than every other player on this list.
