Rival Stars Are Recruiting Bradley Beal
The NBA has tampering rules to try and prevent “unwanted” recruiting of players while they are under contract, but everyone talks in this league and it is no secret that players are constantly texting, calling, gaming, etc. with each other and talking about their futures.
When talking with The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, Bradley Beal stated that, “Almost every game we play, someone says something,” in regards to other players around the league recruiting him. “It brings you back to college. Which school is the right school? Which team is the right team? You love the fact that people see your game and would love to play with you. But it’s also tough on the back end, because you have no idea what you want to do.”
This really is not surprising to hear because of the fact that Bradley Beal can be the difference in a team potentially winning a championship.
The idea of adding a 30-plus point per game scorer to your team is something executives around the league dream about and if he was to request a trade from Washington, all 29 other teams in the league would be right in line trying to acquire Bradley Beal.
