4 Long shot candidates to make a Bradley Beal deal

Wiz send Beal
Bulls send W Carter, Jabari Parker, 2019 pick top 4 protected.

Beal will play more of a point guard role to form a Bulls line up with an incredible amount of spacing.

Wiz send Beal, Mahinmi, Otto Porter
Nets send Crabbe, Carrol, Faried, Deangelo Russell, Ronde Hollis-Jefferson, Jarrett Allen, 2019 1st round pick.

Reality is if Beal is traded, the Wiz are probably not trying to win, this deal totally relieves them of the crippling financial through expiring deals and young talent. The Nets can approach KD this summer with Beal, Porter, and KD’s buddy Caris Levert.

Wiz send Beal and Mahinmi
Mavs Send DSJ, Wes Matthews, Deandre Jordan

Their have been a lot of rumors about the Mavs wanting to get Deandre Jordan out of Dallas, swapping his expiring as the bonus to the Wiz moving on from Mahinmi makes too much sense. Luka is crazy good right now, and DSJ may never be as good as Beal.

Wiz send Beal
Spurs send Lonnie Walker, Dejounte Murray, D. White, Poeltl, Patty Mills, a 2020 first round pick.

Wiz get 3 exciting young backcourt players, plus Poetl, an expiring, and a pick. Spurs go to the next level in the West.

The one I can see here is the Bulls trade. That's a pretty solid move for both sides. The Bulls bring in a really good player while keeping young players, and the Wizards bring in a good pick and a nice young piece in Carter.

I just don't see the Wizards moving Beal for essentially nothing, even though cap space is great. So I don't see THAT Brooklyn trade happening. But the Nets are a very interesting trade partner with the KD angle you're pitching. I like that a lot.

The Mavs are interesting, and Beal might be a nice fit there, but I don't see the Wizards wanting to bring in Jordan. This could be a framework on a three way deal though.

And I really hate to say it, but I just don't see the Spurs being in a position right now to bring Beal in. He won't push them over the top, and I don't think Pop makes that move. This might be something to revisit in the offseason when they can try to move things around to bring in Beal and someone else though.
