Washington Wizards Receive: C/F Anthony Davis, G Kendrick Nunn
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Bradley Beal, C Thomas Bryant, 2025 Second-Round Pick, 2026 Second-Round Pick
While the Washington Wizards would probably want to pair Anthony Davis alongside Bradley Beal in a potential trade, they simply don’t have the assets to get Davis without giving up Beal. This would definitely shake up the way both of these squads look.
Davis has been struggling with both his shot and injuries this season. The one-time champion is averaging 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists while shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 17.9 percent from three-point land.
Beal has also been having somewhat of a down year in comparison to his previous two seasons.
The former Florida Gator is putting up 24.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 29.8 percent from deep.
