Washington Wizards Receive: C Steven Adams, G/F Danny Green, 2023 First-Round Pick (MEM), 2024 First-Round Pick (GSW via MEM), 2025 First-Round Pick (Swap – MEM), 2026 First-Round Pick (MEM)
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: G Bradley Beal
If the Washington Wizards really want to start from scratch, this would be the way to do it.
Here, they’re not receiving any players that they’re actually interested in. Steven Adams is a quality big, but they’ll be rebuilding following this deal. Look for them to repackage him elsewhere at some point in this season.
Meanwhile, this is a lot of draft capital. We’re assuming this would come by way of sign-and-trade. There’s no way the Memphis Grizzlies would surrender so much of their future for a one-year rental on Beal, as talented as he is.
In fact, they may not surrender anything for him. The Grizzlies are on track for success whether they make a move for a star player like Beal or not.
