The Washington Wizards have already made a big move this NBA offseason when they traded John Wall to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook. With Bradley Beal still in the fold, the New Orleans Pelicans should look to trade for him to pair with Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson.
Beal is a name that has floated around in trade rumors in recent years. He has turned into one of the best scorers in the league and a true cornerstone player for the Wizards. They have been near the bottom of the Eastern Conference for years now. If Washington decides to completely blow it up, Beal would get back a huge return.
This is where the Pelicans come into play. They recently signed Brandon Ingram signed to a max extension and have Zion Williamson entering his second season in the NBA. Being able to add a talent like Beal would move New Orleans up in the Western Conference hierarchy immediately.
The foundation for the future is solidly in place and now they could look to add another star player. The rebuild for the Pelicans would speed up exponentially if they were to make this deal to acquire Beal.
Let’s take a look at how this trade centered around Bradley Beal would happen for both the New Orleans Pelicans and Washington Wizards.
