NBA Trade Rumors: 6 Bradley Beal trade ideas to help Wizards jumpstart a rebuild

NBA Trade Rumors: Exploring six Bradley Beal trade ideas that would effectively help the Washington Wizards jumpstart a rebuild. 

Now that the Washington Wizards have hired Michael Winger as the team’s new president of basketball operations and Will Dawkins as the new general manager, a new vision for the franchise is expected to be introduced sometime soon. And that could entail a completely new plan for the offseason.

At the moment, the Wizards’ offseason plan very much remains a mystery, but you’d have to imagine that changes are coming at the very least. The big question, of course, revolves around what those changes could end up entailing.

The Washington Wizards are expected to pivot toward a rebuild soon

According to a recent report (subscription required), the expectation around the league is that the Wizards are going to lean into a rebuild either this offseason or within the next year. If that ends up being the case, and it would seem like a fair bet considering new management would want their spin on a new build, you would expect that part of that process is trading Beal.

In fact, you can argue that trading Beal is not just part of that rebuilding process, it’s arguably the most important part of it. The return for Beal is likely what is going to jumpstart the rebuild. And even though Beal’s trade value is not where it was a few years ago, he’s still a player that would garner a strong deal on the open trade market.

With the growing chance that he could be traded at some point over the next few months, we explore six Beal trade ideas that could help jumpstart a potential Washington Wizards rebuild.
