Why This Trade Would Benefit The Washington Wizards
The benefit for the Washington Wizards comes down to if Bradley Beal truly wants out. If he is disgruntled, then it would help the team to send him away and rebuild around Russell Westbrook. Also, the return for a player like Beal would be massive which helps the direction of the team.
If Beal is sent away, the Wizards will have Westbrook to build around. This is where Ball would help. He is a player who still has room to improve and could team up in the backcourt of the Wizards. Walker is another depth piece that would help in the backcourt.
The NBA Draft picks are the key in this deal. Despite the picks coming from Los Angeles, which means they will be low, they are something that helps a rebuilding team add intriguing prospects to their team.
The Wizards have a chance to change the direction of the franchise with this trade. They have already sent John Wall away and Bradley Beal could be next. This would complete the reshape and the team can begin building around Russell Westbrook.
