Bradley Beal

It has been made clear numerous times that Bradley Beal wants to stay in Washington. However, at some point, the Washington Wizards need to consider capitalizing on his high-value to begin the rebuilding process.

If the Nets want to overwhelm opposing teams with their shot-making capabilities, making a major push for Beal would get the job done. Having Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving along with Beal is a lethal scoring trio that can outclass any opponent when healthy.

There are many dimensions of half-court offense that Brooklyn would have with Beal in place of options like Caris LeVert or Spencer Dinwiddie. Beal can operate off the ball by running around screens, receiving handoffs, and filing the wings in transition in addition to being a dynamic shot creator.

The main concern for the Nets will be the health of Durant and Irving throughout the course of a full season. Trading for Beal would give Brooklyn a high-volume scorer that can take on more of a dynamic role when either of the other stars is sidelined.
