Bradley Beal

The Washington Wizards will have a tough decision to make when it comes to Bradley Beal. The team would love to keep their superstar shooting guard, but without a long-term commitment from him, it will be difficult to do so.

Bradley Beal is essentially playing this season on an expiring deal, as he has a player option for the 2022-23 season. Likely to decline that option, Washington cannot afford to keep him if he isn’t indicating that he wants to stay long-term.

So, the Wizards will trade their All-Star this offseason. The team that will be lucky enough to snag him is the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors have too many assets compared to a team such as the Denver Nuggets. While Michael Porter Jr. is better than James Wiseman, Washington will like that Wiseman is under contract for three more seasons and fills a major need at the center position.

The Warriors can also provide Washington with two lottery picks in this year’s draft, No. 7 and 14 overall. That would give the Wizards a chance to get their rebuild underway right off the bat. Andrew Wiggins could be used to help match salary with Bradley Beal, along with a player such as Jordan Poole.
