2. Bradley Beal
This is a deal that is very unlikely to happen, as Bradley Beal has not requested a trade from the Washington Wizards. But, this is a deal that would make a lot of sense for both teams involved.
The Wizards deserve a lot of respect for trying to build the roster up around Bradley Beal, as they want to remain competitive. But, they are still not close to being contenders in the Eastern Conference.
The Golden State Warriors have said they don’t want to move their younger players, such as James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga or Moses Moody. But, that contradicts their win-now approach, as the youngsters may not be ready to contribute to a contending team.
If both teams accept those realities, a trade can be made. The Warriors need more established, veteran talents and Bradley Beal would instantly catapult them into contender status. They are invested heavily in Klay Thompson returning to form, but that is a risky proposition.

Washington would be hard-pressed to get a package the Warriors can offer. Wiseman and Kuminga both have huge upside as potential stars. Even one of them developing into an All-Star would make this a worthwhile deal for the Wizards. Add in another future pick, and there could be a deal to be made here.
