Earlier this week, word broke that the Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal would work together to trade him if the team decided to transition into a rebuilding phase.
The reason the two parties would need to work together on the potential deal is that Beal’s contract has a full no-trade clause. This means that he can veto any trade that he is involved in. So, if the Wizards are going to trade Beal, it has to be to a team he’s interested in going to.
Let’s say for a second that one of those teams he’d be interested in playing for is the New Orleans Pelicans.
