Bradley Beal Rumors: Star Wants to Be 'Dirk Nowitzki of Wizards' amid Trade Buzz

Nearly every NBA team would want to acquire Bradley Beal if he becomes available, but the superstar could also choose to remain the long-term face of the franchise for the Washington Wizards.

NBA reporter Marc Stein provided the latest intel on Beal:

"I've heard a rumble or two in recent months from parties hopeful of luring Bradley Beal away from Washington that Beal is known for saying, in essence, that he wants to be the Dirk Nowitzki of the Wizards in terms of playing only for the franchise that drafted him No. 3 overall in 2012.
