Like the Blazers with Damian Lillard, the Wizards are hanging on Bradley Beal’s questioning this summer. Will leave or will not leave? The rear has been considering his situation in the capital for some time.
And The Athletic tells us that the Wizards are among the most interested teams, along with Miami and Toronto, by Ben Simmons, who should leave Philadelphia by the start of the season.
Washington officials will only jump into action for the Sixers playmaker if the league’s second-leading scorer wants to leave. They will then have several solutions in front of them, the first being the simplest: a direct exchange with Philadelphia and Ben Simmons.
Or they could instead use the trade currencies recovered from Bradley Beal’s transfer to convince the Sixers, even though Daryl Morey is known to be expecting at least one All-Star. Finally, last possibility: Washington can always place itself in a three-team (or more) exchange to recover the Australian.
