Washington Wizards Receive: F Michael Porter Jr., 2026 First-Round Pick (DEN), 2028 First-Round Pick (DEN)
Denver Nuggets Receive: G Bradley Beal
Bradley Beal might seem like an unattainable goal for many teams. The Denver Nuggets may not be one of those teams due to having an intriguing forward that may be of interest to the Washington Wizards.
Michael Porter Jr. fell to the Denver Nuggets in the middle of the first round in 2018 since teams were concerned about his history of back injuries.
Those concerns reared their ugly head this season as Porter Jr. missed most of the season after back surgery.
The injury came after Porter Jr. signed a contract extension. If he is traded, a team knows that they will have control over Porter Jr. for years to come. He would lead the return going back to a rebuilding team in Washington joining Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis.
