NBA Trade Rumors: 5 Realistic, 5 unrealistic draft day trade possibilities

Realistic – Bradley Beal is traded

If you’re looking for a big name to be moved at the 2023 NBA Draft, look no further than Bradley Beal. There’s so much smoke surrounding his potential trade that you can see the fire. Beal has now been given permission to meet with teams; that’s when you know something is close to taking place. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Washington Wizards have already had some exploratory trade talks with some of the teams that are expected to be in on the Beal sweepstakes.

What makes this the most likely blockbuster deal to get done is the fact that Beal’s return isn’t expected to be huge. At most, the Wizards are probably asking for a couple of future first-round picks and expiring salary. I’d be shocked if the Wizards got anything more than that in a return package for Beal.

It’s beginning to feel as if a deal is close for Beal. I’m not sure if it will happen at the NBA Draft but this has the potential to absolutely become the biggest talking point of the night’s festivities.
