Bradley Beal

Every team is monitoring the uncertain situation of the Washington Wizards this offseason, especially following the firing of Scott Brooks. With the Wizards being served an early exit in the playoffs again, could this be the offseason that Bradley Beal finally requests a trade? If Beal wants an opportunity to win a ring as he enters his prime, he should force his way to another team this summer.

There are plenty of teams that Beal would consider if he requests a trade, and the Boston Celtics could quietly be one of them. Beal is known to be close friends with Tatum, as both of them are from the St. Louis area, and they both attended the same high school.

While Bradley Beal is four years older than Tatum, they have seemingly manufactured an off-court relationship. Besides the off-court relationship they have, Beal would be a perfect fit alongside a player like Tatum.

Unlike the other players included in this list, a trade for Beal would undoubtedly need to include Brown. Even though some fans would be skeptical of trading Brown for Beal, Beal is the superior player at this point in his career.

Beal just had the best year of his career, where he was the second-leading scorer in the NBA (31.3 PPG) and he shot a career-best 48.5 percent from the floor. Being able to lure Bradley Beal to Boston, preventing him from going to another team in the Eastern Conference, would be an impressive feat for Stevens and the front office.
