While the Golden State Warriors reportedly explored a trade for Bradley Beal, they never came close to getting a deal done.
"I never got the sense those talks went anywhere," ESPN's Zach Lowe said his podcast (31:40 mark) following Game 6 of the NBA Finals. "[The Athletic's] Marcus Thompson came on the podcast and said there were times the veterans wanted them to do something. But I think there was hesitancy, 'Can we defend well enough with Steph, Klay, Beal in our starting five? Versus Wiggins we feel like we have something here.' But Washington wasn't doing anything.
