The future of Bradley Beal remains one of the hottest topics in the NBA. Over the last few seasons, Beal has elevated his game to the next level, but the Wizards are still struggling to keep up with their superstar. One can only imagine, if Beal was on a contender team, he could be on his way to winning the first ring of the career.
So far this season, Beal is averaging 35.4 points while playing nearly 36 minutes a game. Despite Beal’s monstrous numbers, the Wizards are dead last in the league with just three wins. Although the 27-year-old has denied all rumors of him requesting a trade, how long can he keep up these performances?

In the latest episode of ESPN’s “The Jump,” renowned NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski revealed his thoughts about the future of Beal with the Wizards. He said:
“There’s not a team in the league who wouldn’t love to find a way to add Bradley Beal… I think for teams like Golden State or the Denvers, teams who have assets who are contenders when they’re healthy… Now I’m not saying they’re going to do it, but you look at those teams and say ‘they have enough to get in the conversation.’
Along with Denver and Golden State, Woj further stated that both the LA teams would be interested in landing the Wizards’ superstar. He said:
“And that’s going to be the decision for teams all over the league. Of course the Lakers and Clippers would love to be able to get involved in that, but do they have the draft picks? Do they have the young players it would take that would top a package from some other teams? Maybe not.”
