Does this trade make sense for the Washington Wizards?
The Wizards quickly turned into a bottom feeder in the Eastern Conference. This forced them to make a big move and they did so in the form of sending Wall to Houston. The duo of Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal got hot toward the end of the season and helped the Wizards clinch the eighth seed. After being eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers, Washington could make another big move.

NBA trade rumors involving Bradley Beal were shut down by the organization at the trade deadline. They did not move their superstar but things could have changed to this point. Beal has given a lot to the franchise but it is time that both sides get a fresh start.
In this deal, the Wizards would land some young talent in the frontcourt along with draft capital. There is incredible value surrounding Beal and the front office would have its choice of deals to make. Golden State has plenty of assets that could help a rebuilding roster like Golden State.
The Wizards need to part ways with Beal and begin moving forward. That is what they can do using draft capital given to them in exchange.
