Bradley Beal – Washington Wizards
Bradley Beal has been brought up in trade rumors for years now simply because the Wizards have not capitalized on his talents.
Year-after-year, the Wizards fail to improve as an organization and with them likely to miss the playoffs this season, Washington is going to have a lot of problems to fix on their roster around Beal in the offseason.
Now 28-years-old and turning 29 in June, Bradley Beal could very well want to win right now in the prime of his career, which is why what he decides to do with his player option this offseason is critical to what will transpire this upcoming NBA offseason.
Beal has a $36.4 million player option that he can opt out of to become an unrestricted free agent. Should he do so, it is possible that the three-time All-Star will re-sign with the Wizards on a max extension, but he could do so in order to pull off a sign-and-trade to contend for a title elsewhere.

If Bradley Beal is available, we know Pat Riley will pursue him and that he will not just sit back and watch the rest of the league battle it out for the All-Star.
No matter the chances of making this happen, Pat Riley is always looking to put his team in the best position possible to contend for a championship and adding a juggernaut scorer like Bradley Beal would surely shake things up in the Eastern Conference.
Duncan Robinson ($16.9 million), P.J. Tucker ($7.3 million) and Tyler Herro ($5.7 million) could all be leveraged in a possible deal to pair Beal with the likes of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry in Miami.
