Free agent this summer, Bradley Beal opened the door to a departure from the Wizards a few months ago, he who had until then claimed his loyalty to the DC franchise. There is a lot of speculation about his future, but a few days ago he reassured Capital fans in part by saying it was “fair to say he’s leaning” towards re-signing with the Wizards. However, he also explained that he would take advantage of the coming weeks to reflect on his future as he is out until the end of the season.
Nothing is so sure and Andrew Bogut, the former Warrior, just cast a big doubt on Beal’s future in his lifelong franchise.
“I heard a big rumor, coming from people who are very close to the situation in the NBA: a big 3 in Philly,” Bogut said on his “Rogue Bogues” podcast. Bradley Beal is trying to go to Philadelphia in the offseason to partner with Harden and Embiid.
Philly desperately tries to get rid of Harris anyway. This has been the case for a long time. And I think they’re even more desperate now to free up space in their salary cap. It will probably be necessary to set up a sign & trade. But don’t be surprised if a big 3 forms in Philly. This is what is being whispered. »
A Tobias Harris – Bradley Beal sign & trade could work financially, in the event that Beal asks for his trade, and puts the Wizards back on the wall. For that it will probably be necessary to add some additional assets, and Philly lacks a little after the James Harden trade. Tyrese Maxey, untouchable in discussions of a Harden trade could be an option, but also Matisse Thybulle.
If James Harden were to decline his player option, and make a small financial sacrifice, it could also slightly increase the Sixers’ chances of getting another All-Star.
