Last July, the Washington Wizards signed Bradley Beal to a whopping five-year, $251 million contract extension. More shocking than the salary was the no-trade clause included in the deal. This made Beal the only player in the league to have veto powers on any trade involving him. How disastrous this decision was is even clearer today as the Wizards are actively trying to shop Beal.
Shams Charania of the Athletic reported that the Wizards are in serious negotiations with the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat, the two finalists to acquire Beal. The reported trade packages demonstrate how little leverage the Wizards have in these negotiations due to the no-trade clause.
