Bradley Beal

Every team should want Bradley Beal, but he’s yet to force his way out. Unless he does that, Beal probably won’t be traded, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a perfect fit for the Golden State Warriors.

There are a few reasons why, and one is that the Warriors know how to play with the hot hand. Oftentimes with Westbrook on the court, Beal, who does lead the league in scoring, can’t get the shots that he needs. After all, he had just eight shots in the first half in an ugly loss to the Sixers.

The Wizards are just two games out of playoff positions, and it’s largely due to Beal. Averaging 32.5 points per game, Beal has cemented himself as the league’s best scoring threat. He can do it in about every way possible.

Also averaging 4.7 assists per game, Beal can do it all, and he’s proven that he’s a complete all-around playmaker. Combine that with Curry, and you have an elite backcourt, easily the best in the NBA.

It’d be a high cost, and it most likely won’t be worth it. But, Beal certainly gets them over the hump.
