NBA Trades: 3 Julius Randle trades to help the Knicks – Washington Wizards

Wizards receive: Julius Randle

Knicks receive: Rui Hachimura, Corey Kispert, Davis Bertans, 2022 First-Round Pick, 2024 First-Round Pick

Recent NBA rumors have revealed that Bradley Beal does not plan to sign an extension with the Washington Wizards. Despite this, the Wizards have no plan on trading him.

Maybe, instead of deadline him, they could instead try to put another All-Star-caliber player alongside him. Julius Randle may be struggling, but he was still an All-Star last year.

Randle is being forced to be the main guy in New York, but in Washington, he’d play second-fiddle. Maybe this is the role he needs to play in order to be at his best.

Plus, this trade would show Beal that the Wizards are doing everything possible to compete right now. That could incentivize him to re-sign this offseason.

For the New York Knicks, this would see them build for the future. Instead of focusing on the now, they would pair Rui Hachimura with RJ Barrett for the future.

This would also allow Barrett to become the primary option on the Knicks, thus giving him the keys to the franchise. That would help him unlock his full potential as a player.

Throw in a promising rookie in Corey Kispert and a couple of first-round picks, and this is a solid deal for New York. Think about Barrett’s future instead of trying to put it all together now.
