The former first-round pick out of Florida had a career year in 2020-2021 in which he scored a career-best 31.3 points per game, second in the league behind Stephen Curry.
Unlike the other players on this list, Bradley Beal is the only one where any team would love to take on the rest of his contract. Beal is 27 years old and he continues to improve on both ends of the floor, and there are teams that would give up quite a bit to land the All-Star guard.
The only question is whether or not Bradley Beal or Washington are ready to make reality of what is inevitably going to happen at some point.
If the Wizards are willing to listen to offers, or if they make Bradley Beal available, the other 29 teams should at least put an offer on the table for his services. While it seems like we’ve attempted to predict a trade involving Beal for the past couple of years, this might be the offseason it finally takes shape.
