Big-Time Update On Bradley Beal To Celtics/Warriors And Russel Westbrook To Lakers Trade Rumors

In last year’s offseason, on December 2, 2020, the NBA landscape was shaken up by a major Woj Bomb.

The Washington Wizards acquired former MVP and nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook from the Houston Rockets in exchange for five-time All-Star John Wall and a future lottery-protected first round pick.

But according to the latest news, the Wizards could finally opt for the full rebuild that has been in need for years now, and trade away both their stars in Westbrook and Bradley Beal.

The latest rumors suggest that Bradley Beal is weighing whether to request a trade.

Word has spread across front offices around the NBA: Bradley Beal is weighing whether to request a trade from the Washington Wizards.

“He knows he has to make a decision before the draft,” said one source with knowledge of Beal’s thinking. More @BR_NBA: https://t.co/M1vhNx0ZRn

If Brad Beal does move forward and request a trade, the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics would be his preferred destinations.

Beal requesting a trade and the Wizards possibly meeting his request also directly correlates with Westbrook’s status. The NBA’s all-time leader in triple doubles has raised interest from LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Have heard that the Lakers have developed some traction in their pursuit of Russell Westbrook, for what it’s worth. https://t.co/LCDt2Jz9Ew
