Why The Golden State Warriors Should Do It
The Warriors are in a unique position, in that they could select and keep a player at No. 2, but they’d much rather have a star now than wait for a rookie to develop.
If the Wizards would accept the offer of two first round picks and Wiggins, the Warriors should pounce on the deal.
Beal would give the Warriors yet another shooter, but it would make their lineup even smaller than it already is.
Beal is a prolific scorer and he would give opposing defenses yet another aspect to worry about when facing a healthy Warriors squad.
In 2020-21, Beal will enter the final year of his current contract, worth $28 million. He’s under team control through 2023, as his extension will kick in for the 2021-22 season.
