Monday morning, Fred Katz, who covers the Washington Wizards for The Athletic, reported that if Wizards star guard Bradley Beal were to ask for a trade ahead of this week’s NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks would be among teams that could get “in the mix”. Katz also lists the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors as other teams that could be in on the sweepstakes if Beal were to come available.
Beal is coming off another standout season as a scorer in which he averaged a career high 31.3 points per game.
