16. Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards are another team stuck in the middle of the pack. They have a seriously talented backcourt with John Wall and Bradley Beal. Both of which have been playing at an All-Star level. Sadly, this duo has not gelled well on the court and they have had little success in the playoffs.

Despite their lack of success, the front office has been reluctant to make any drastic moves. However, after another horrid season for the Wizards, it might be time for a trade to take place.

Washington could offer up Bradley Beal, Sam Dekker and two first-round draft picks to bring Kevin Durant back home to D.C. These two players can offer up some unique talents to the Warriors that could prove to be useful.

Beal is a versatile scorer and can play a few different positions. Averaging 24.9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, Beal is ready to contribute to a championship contending team.

In contrast, Dekker is an unpolished prospect with the potential to be good at multiple things. He has a similar skillset to Draymond Green and with the correct training could be a solid bench player.
