NBA Trades, Bradley Beal, NBA Rumors

It’s been about three weeks since our good friend Corey Rausch took a look at some Bradley Beal NBA trades. But with the recent NBA rumors, I thought I would take a stab at it myself.

Recent NBA rumors revealed that Beal has no plans to sign an extension with the Washington Wizards. Despite this, the Wizards don’t plan on trading him before the deadline.

That’s a bit puzzling, as losing Beal for nothing probably isn’t ideal for them. Getting something back in return would surely help them plan for the future.

What are some realistic NBA trades the Wizards could get done before the trade deadline that would allow them to get something in return for Bradley Beal?

NBA Trades: 3 Bradley Beal trades based on NBA rumors – Philadelphia 76ers

76ers receive: Bradley Beal

Wizards receive: Ben Simmons

Short, simple, and possible. This trade would help the Philadelphia 76ers win right now, while the Washington Wizards would get to reset for the future.

The duo of Bradley Beal and Joel Embiid would be amazing. Putting a great perimeter scorer next to Embiid could seriously change the entire dynamic of the Sixers.

As for Washington, they could build around Ben Simmons. The 25-year-old still has a long career ahead of him, and Washington would be adding a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

This one-for-one trade would work out beautifully for both sides. It’s right in front of both of their faces, so might as well pull the trigger now.
