The Washington Wizards are 3-12 and have the worst record in the NBA. There star player in Bradley Beal leads the league in scoring at 35 points a game and has the 6th best Player efficiency Rating (PER) in the NBA. With such great talent it has led many people to wanting to see the Wizard trade Bradley Beal. Beal signed a 2-year contract extension back in 2019 which extended his deal until at least until the summer of 2022 due to his player option after the 2021-2022 season. With this unique season the playoffs are not out of reach of the Wizards despite their terrible record. With a play in tournament schedule to occur between the 7 to 10 seeds of each conference to determine final 2 spots for the playoffs; It means it is a race to 10th. Currently the Wizards are just 3 games back of the Chicago Bulls who currently hold the 10th spot. It will be interesting to see how the Wizards choose to move forward this year.
I do believe the Wizards will make a move as they are giving up the most points in the NBA at 122 points per game. The question is do they trade Russell Westbrook or Beal to help jump start the rebuilding of the team. Many teams would be interested in Beal if he is made available including the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Beal will help any contender and if the in right position he can help make that team title contenders. I can’t wait to see to see what happens between now and the trade deadline on March 25th.
