Sacramento Kings Receive: G Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: G Buddy Hield, C/F Marvin Bagley III, 2021 first-round pick, 2023 first-round pick swap, 2025 first-round pick swap
This is a rather simple NBA trade scenario in structure in the sense that Bradley Beal would be the lone player or asset being sent to the Sacramento Kings. Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards would land Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley III, and the Kings’ first-round pick (No. 9 odds for top pick) along with a pair of future first-round pick swaps.
The salary cap impact of this trade package would be quite neutral for both the Kings and Wizards. Washington would clear $712K prior to having to pay the rookie-scale deal to pay NBA Draft selections. Where Sacramento would need to focus on is the long-term implications after Beal receives a substantial contract extension.

Buddy Hield still has three-years on his extension and will earn $22.4 million next season.
Let’s take a look at how this NBA trade scenario centered around Bradley Beal would impact both the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards.
