Teams that can get Bradley Beal to waive his no-trade clause: 2. Los Angeles Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers have been one of the most disappointing teams since the 2019 offseason when they signed the reigning Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and traded for a top 3 vote-getter in both the MVP and DPOY in Paul George. Since then the Clippers have always been mentioned as contenders for the title but failed to do so — blowing a 3-1 lead in the second round against the Nuggets in 2020, losing to the Suns in six games in the Western Conference Finals in 2021, missing the playoffs entirely in 2022, and losing in the first round to Suns this past postseason.

One of the biggest factors for the Clippers’ failures has been injury, as Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with an ACL tear and Paul George seems to get nicked up. With that being said, it is time for the Clippers to make a trade to shake things up.

A Clippers trade for Bradley Beal will have to look something like Terrance Mann, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, Marcus Morris, Eric Gordon, and two first rounds picks for Bradley Beal and Delon Wright. That is a pretty hefty package for the Clippers to give up but they need all those players to match Beal’s big contract.

Having a starting lineup of Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac with Norman Powell and Bones Hyland off the bench should be very intriguing to the Clippers and Beal. Let’s not forget that Beal played a season with Westbrook in 2021 where Beal averaged a career-high 31.3 points per game.

The Clippers with Bradley Beal should be in a prime spot to win a championship and should be a team that gets Beal to waive his no-trade clause.
