Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards appear to be moving towards a long-delayed trade, according to Adrian Wojnaroski of ESPN. Beal has spent all of his 11 NBA seasons in Washington, earning three All-Star nods, twice averaging more than 30 points per game in a season. But the Wizards have only made the playoffs once since 2018. Meanwhile Beal will turn 30 in just a few days. While he and the team have appeared resistant to trades in years past, Wojnarowski suggests that winds are changing.
Wojnarowski points out that Beal’s trade situation is complicated by his contractual veto power over deals.
