Today, NBC's Chris Roberts reported that Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal will request a trade from the team.  Beal, 28, has spent his entire eight year career with the Wizards and has most recently signed a max deal/extensions.

I feel like this is long overdue for Beal.  This dude has played his ass off for them and the closest they have ever gotten to anything was a game 7 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals loss to the Celtics.  But speaking of the Celtics, they are the favorites to land Beal if/when he becomes available.

I am not going to lie, it is either Beal or Stevens has kind of already failed as the new face of the Celtics.  Ainge was notorious for being tied to players and just flat out not getting it done.  Now, I don't think Stevens is that bad at his job but if he can't get Beal after literally every free agent has been signed then we are in trouble.  Not to mention, Tatum and Beal are best friends and would have been awesome on the Olympic team together.

I hope Roberts' sources are accurate and Stevens can come in and swoop him up.  I know it might cost Brown or Smart but I am totally fine with that.  I think I am fine with that because A LOT of teams have gotten better.  The Nets, Bucks, Lakers, Bulls, and Knicks all got better, and four of those teams are in the East.  And on top of that Atlanta and Miami also made huge re-signings.

I think if Beal becomes available they need to make a move or else we have a lot of catching up to do.
