Bradley Beal’s rise to be one of the best scorers in the NBA has been meteoric, but has also resulted in interest from a number of NBA teams. Most recently, it was the Golden State Warriors who were linked with a move, with Beal himself reported to be considering making a trade request.

With Wes Unseld Jr. reportedly looking to re-build, convincing Bradley Beal to stay should be the Washington Wizards’ biggest tasks this offseason. Beal has averaged 31.3 points this season and has a great relationship with Russell Westbrook. For the Wizards, going for a big rebuild does not make sense considering they have two elite players capable of landing them the championship with the right team around them.

With Thomas Bryant to return next season and the improvement that Rui Hachimura showed along with a no. 15 pick, the Washington Wizards still look short of another scorer, and have recently been linked to a number of players, including DeMar DeRozan and Jerami Grant.

Re-signing Raul Neto will give them depth at the Guard position while Gafford is another potential role player who can impact games for the Wizards next season. Regardless, adding a scorer might not even prove to be difficult, with the Wizards reportedly looking at the 28-year-old Davis Bertans as a potential asset that they can use in a sign-and-trade deal.
