Washington Wizards
The trade we’d like to see the most from the Golden State Warriors would be with the Washington Wizards. If the Wizards are unable to get a long-term commitment from Bradley Beal and put him on the trade block, the Warriors need to pursue him aggressively. Landing Beal would bust their championship window wide open once again.
Beal is just entering his prime and is already a legitimate superstar in the league. He has averaged 30.9 points per game the last two seasons, putting them right on par with the Brooklyn Nets trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving for offensive explosiveness. Imagine teams trying to stop those three players running off Draymond Green screens? Good luck.
For the Wizards, parting ways with their franchise player would be difficult to do, but Golden State would give them a great package to start their rebuild with.
20-year old James Wiseman would give them a building block in the middle they don’t currently have. 26-year old Andrew Wiggins began putting it together with the Warriors this season as a two-way player.

The Wizards would also have a crack at two lottery picks, No. 7 and 14, in addition to their 15th pick. In a draft as deep as this one, they should be able to land some impact players.
