Bradley Beal

The second star that the Warriors could aim for is Bradley Beal. Arguably the most snubbed All-Star in the event’s history, Beal has been absolutely destroying teams while receiving little help in the nation’s capital.

Beal is averaging 30.1 points per game this season. He is coming off two straight games of scoring over 50 points on over 55% shooting. He’s taken his game to the next level this season and is a proven all-around scoring threat.

What are the Wizards doing with his talent though?

Under contract till the 2022-2023 season, the Wizards could deal Beal who is on a massive deal, projected to earn over $33 million that last season. Then, they could build around Rui Hachimura, John Wall, Andrew Wiggins and a top pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

While Beal is an incredible player, it’s tough to see them trading both first-round picks and Wiggins for him. To make the finances work, the Warriors would have to include Wiggins, and then to close the talent gap, the Warriors toss them that 2021 first-round pick.

Beal may eventually want out of Washington with the team’s lack of success. That said, if this offer is on the table, do they take it?
