"I think he is a perfect fit for Joel Embiid" - Former NBA player wants to see Bradley Beal end up with Philadelphia 76ers

Bradley Beal is making headlines after a recent report said that he's working with the Washington Wizards front office regarding a potential trade. One former NBA player wants to see Beal get traded to the Philadelphia 76ers and form a dynamic partnership with Joel Embiid.

The Athletic's Shams Charania has reported that there's an understanding between Beal and the Wizards that the team will trade him if they decide to start a rebuild. The Wizards recently hired Michael Winger as the new president of basketball operations.

"Just in: The Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal will work together to find a trade for the three-time All-Star if the team elects to reset the roster in the near future, league sources tell me and Josh Robbins," Charania tweeted.

Former NBA player Chandler Parsons chimed in on the recent Bradley Beal rumors and said that the latter would be perfect for the Philadelphia 76ers. Parsons told FanDuel TV that Beal's a talented player who would work great with the reigning MVP.

"I think Brad Beal is one of those players that's so talented," Parsons said. "He's just been in a sh*tty situation for his entire career. I think he is a perfect fit for Joel Embiid. I think he's a great guy. He's a Florida Gator."

He added:

"I know Joel Embiid and Brad Beal are friends. They both train with Drew Hanlen in the summer, maybe there's something there. He's slightly younger than James Harden."

Notably, Beal also has a no-trade clause on his contract, which means he will control his fate if the Washington Wizards decide to trade him. He has been in Washington since 2012 when they drafted him third overall out of Florida.

The Denver Nuggets have not held their championship parade yet, but it's officially silly season in the NBA. Bradley Beal is already being linked to many teams following the news.

Some of the teams rumored to be interested in Beal include the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and New York Knicks. Beal and Jayson Tatum are both St. Louis natives, with the Celtics looking to make an upgrade after failing to make it out of the East this season.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are clearly missing another piece following their loss to the Nuggets in the NBA Finals. As for the Knicks, they're also missing another star to pair alongside Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.
