Making the Case: Washington Wizards
The drama surrounding Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards has been quiet recently. It does not look like the Wizards want to make a deal, but they could before Beal forces his way out of town in the future, which could also be unlikely.
If things change and the Wizards get an offer they cannot turn down, Beal could finally end his tenure with the Wizards.
There are a few players that Beal should want to be next to, and Morant is one of them. As for Washington, they acquired Kyle Kuzma from the Lakers and Porzingis from the Dallas Mavericks.
An exciting core of young players can be there for years to come. This, along with draft capital, can help the Wizards rebuild the rotation.

Because of this, it is not like moving feel well and sending Washington into a downward spiral. They have been in one for years now, trying to find consistency and success in the East.

This is unlikely to come unless they can find another superstar to pair with Beal, which seems doubtful. The only other option would be moving in for a large package while he is still one of the top scorers in the league.
