Bradley Beal will not be playing for the rest of this season due to him having a season-ending injury. However, when healthy, he has been one of the best scorers in the league. Prior to his injury, Bradley Beal was putting up 23.2 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 6.6 APG.
There is no doubt that most would consider Bradley Beal one of the most loyal players in the league, as he has remained with the Washington Wizards for his entire career thus far. Bradley Beal has even claimed that he is willing to take “a shot” at creating his own legacy in Washington, and “make it work” with the Wizards.
“Honestly, realizing that a franchise is willing to build around you. It’s not always like that everywhere. Like, if I go somewhere else, they’re just not going to build around you. They’ll build around what they have. There’s nothing absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if I have the chance to create my own legacy and make it work here with the team that drafted me, then why not give it a shot? It it works, it works, If it doesn’t, I can say ‘at least I tried.’ That’s just who I am, that’s my blessing and curse, my loyalty. We’re transitioning, we’re going in the right direction, but we still have a lot of improvements to make.”
Sometimes plans change though, and perhaps this could be the case here. On a recent episode of his Rogue Bogues podcast, Andrew Bogut has claimed that Bradley Beal could potentially try “to team up” with James Harden and Joel Embiid in the offseason.
I’ve heard a pretty big rumor … from some people that are pretty close to the situation in the NBA: Big three to Philly. Brad Beal is trying to get to Philadelphia in the offseason to team up with Harden and Embiid.
Philly’s desperate, obviously, to try to get off Harris, anyway. They have been for a while. And I think they’re even more desperate now to free up that cap space somehow. It will most likely have to be a sign-and-trade with Philly. But don’t be surprised if a big three forms in Philly. That’s the word on the street.
There is no doubt that a big three of James Harden, Bradley Beal, and Joel Embiid would be deadly on the offensive end. Andrew Bogut mentions a potential sign-and-trade scenario featuring Tobias Harris, and that would definitely make sense from a financial standpoint.
It remains to be seen if Bradley Beal will end up leaving the Washington Wizards. The Philadelphia 76ers would definitely be a good destination for him though if he wants to compete for a championship, and there’s no doubt that this hypothetical big 3 would be fun to watch.
