On Wednesday afternoon, we got multiple updates on the Bradley Beal trade front.
The Philadelphia 76ers seemed like they were interested in adding the long-time Washington Wizards guard back when they were trying to trade Ben Simmons more than a year ago.
You might recall The Ringer’s Bill Simmons saying “part of the reason the [James Harden trade] took so long was because there was the Sixers side that wanted [James] Harden—obviously Daryl [Morey], because Harden is his guy. But Embiid really wanted Beal because he felt like he was a better fit and was pushing, pushing, pushing.
