Lakers Land Bradley Beal

Washington Wizards Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2026 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Bradley Beal 

It may be high time for the Lakers to move Westbrook. It’s also high time for the Washington Wizards to move Bradley Beal. 

At 17-21, the Wizards are enduring another mediocre season. This has been a trend for years. By now, the best thing they can do is move Beal and look to the future. 

This deal nets them some premium assets. They may get more draft capital elsewhere, but these Lakers picks hold special value. As an aging, injury-prone team, the Lakers are likely to cede a lottery selection with one of these picks. 

On the other hand, landing Beal may help them win now. As an elite off-ball player, he’d be a perfect compliment to James. Throw in Anthony Davis, and there would be a new Big 3 in LA.
