Does this trade make sense for the LA Clippers?
Of course, this trade makes sense for the LA Clippers because they would be giving up none of their valuable assets to land one of the best scorers in the entire league!
If Los Angeles was able to pull off this trade, then the Washington Wizards should be thrown out of the league because this deal is highway robbery.
Bledsoe and Kennard will likely hold roles in the Clippers’ attack this season, but neither guy is really essential to this team in terms of being a true championship contender. In this deal, the Clippers would be giving up role players, rookies and draft picks that are not valuable for one of the top players in this league.
Pairing Bradley Beal with Paul George in Kawhi Leonard’s absence would ensure that the Los Angeles Clippers would be on the best teams record-wise in the Western Conference and then when Kawhi returns, they would definitely be equal to the Lakers, Suns, and others in terms of coming out of the Western Conference and making the NBA Finals.

In no way shape or form is this trade one that the Wizards would consider accepting, but this is the final move for the Clippers to make. Whether it is Beal or someone else, this team is still missing one key contributor on offense and they should be willing to give up whatever it takes to add said player.
In this case, the LA Clippers should be willing to trade anyone and anything not named Paul George or Kawhi Leonard for Bradley Beal. He would fit in perfectly as an elite-level scorer in this offense and the addition of Beal should guarantee the Clippers a spot in the Western Conference Finals once again at the very least.
