New York Knicks Land Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, G Derrick Rose, G Immanuel Quickley, 2023 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2025 First-Round Pick (MIL via NYK), 2027 First-Round Pick (NYK)
New York Knicks Receive: G Bradley Beal
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards look more than a move away from contention.
In fact, at 11-20, they’ve been among the most disappointing teams in the NBA. It feels like the Wizards are due to blow this group up and start over.
This would be a good way to do it. The Wizards aren’t interested in the two veterans they’re receiving here. Still, Quickley and three first-round picks is a fair value deal for Beal that will help them get started on q rebuild.
Meanwhile, Beal could be the missing piece this Knicks team needs. Following this trade, the Knicks would still be lacking a massive star, but they’d have several fringe All-Star players.

In overwhelming teams with their depth of playmakers and shot-creators, they should improve.
