Best Bradley Beal trades for Warriors, Heat and 76ers

The Warriors may have the best offer for Bradley Beal

Among the teams with the best assets heading into next week’s draft is the Warriors.

Golden State currently owns the No.7 and No.14 overall picks which would likely be in play for a Beal trade. In addition to parting ways with their first-round selections, moving Andrew Wiggins in this deal would also make sense.

It’s also possible Washington would ask for younger talent on the Warriors which consists of James Wiseman, Jordan Poole, and Eric Paschall.

Any combination of Wiggins plus young talent and multiple picks would be a high price to pay, but it could be the type of deal which the Warriors’ core is hoping. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have all been vocal about wanting the front office to go all-in this offseason and this would be a perfect opportunity.

The Wizards should not take Ben Simmons for Bradley Beal, but a trade could still happen

Philadelphia and All-Star Ben Simmons have been in the center of trade talks thus far and will continue to be through draft night.

A rebuilding team like the Wizards may not like the idea of bringing Simmons in, but if they throw in the No.28 overall pick and a young player like Tyrese Maxey could be intriguing enough to make a deal happen. The 76ers also own first-round picks from 2022-2024.

There is another possibility a third team gets involved in a trade for Simmons as well, while Beal is moved to Philadelphia. It would make more sense for the Wizards if another interested team is involved. This would allow Washington to acquire picks and young talent without having to take on Simmons and the remainder of his four years, ~$140.3 million on his current deal.
