The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards both have intriguing pieces in the backcourt this NBA season. There is a potential trade centered around Bradley Beal that could be cooked up that would help both sides moving forward.
The Cavaliers have built a productive backcourt through the NBA Draft led by Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. They are teamed up with veteran names like Andre Drummond and Kevin Love down low. The Cavaliers are still in the midst of their rebuilding phase, which could take some more time. They could also be sped up by a potential trade such as this one.
For the Washington Wizards, both John Wall and Bradley Beal requested trades prior to the 2020-21 NBA season. Wall’s request was granted when he was sent to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook.
Now, Beal and Westbrook make up one of the most dynamic backcourts in the Eastern Conference. If the Wizards are still interested in trading Beal, the Cavaliers are the perfect trade partners.
Both sides in this deal have pieces to send to the other that would help in the direction they are headed. Here is what a potential deal between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards might look like.
