Why This Trade Makes Sense For The Wizards

If the Wizards are going to move their star shooting guard, they need some serious talent and draft capital coming back to them. This trade would check both of those boxes.

Tyler Herro would give Washington a new starting shooting guard with huge potential. They would also be getting another talented back-court piece in Kendrick Nunn. Adding two veterans in Kelly Olynyk and Andre Iguodala would be mainly to match salary, but they would be excellent leaders for the young roster.

Throwing in a 2022 first-round pick simply adds more potential for the Wizards. They could find a young player with that pick or use it in a future trade.

Granted, this may not even be enough to convince the Wizards to pull the trigger. Only if the Wizards are not convinced they can compete with Beal and John Wall coming back healthy would they be open to making a move.

Miami can offer a great trade package, but the Wizards may be focused on seeing what they have. A trade for Bradley Beal may be more likely to happen at the NBA trade deadline.
