Washington Wizards
It seems as though the league is waiting for the Washington Wizards to blow it up but they keep going in the opposite direction.
This year, they decided to acquire Porzingis rather than sell at the trade deadline. Washington might not have found success this season but it is clear that the Wizards believe in the duo of Porzingis and Bradley Beal.
Randle would fit well with the rest of the personnel. The duo that would be created down low with Porzingis would allow the Washington Wizards to have options on both sides of the floor.
Beal continues to be one of the top scorers in the game and would have even more room to operate. Randle plays at a slower pace but is a talented passer within the offense.

This is not to say that a hypothetical Washington Wizards trio of Beal, Randle, and Porzingis would be the best “Big 3” in the NBA, but it would be a group that complements each other well.
The scoring ability of Beal would keep defenders on the perimeter so Julius Randle and Kristaps Porzingis would handle single-coverage. Also, both bigs can venture out near the three-point line, which would keep the lane clear for Beal to get to the rim.

The Washington Wizards got a decent haul back from the Los Angeles Lakers when they sent away Russell Westbrook. This would be a chance to flip Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for an option that might be around longer. This is a franchise that has shown its desire to return to the postseason next year.
