Would this trade make sense for the Washington Wizards?
The Washington Wizards sent Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason and deal current situation is unknown. Washington has some decisions to make moving forward and that includes if they were going to add another star. If they do, it is unlikely that Bradley Beal is moved.
The Wizards were able to sneak into the postseason as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. This is a group that was down near the bottom of the standings and Washington was able to take advantage using the star-studded duo.
Now, Beal is on his own in the front office could decide to look for another star. When healthy, Kristaps Porzingis is a difference-maker because of his size and ability to score from all over the floor.
He handles the ball like a guard and can get it down from three-point range. The problem has been, Porzingis has been unable to remain on the floor.
