The Washington Wizards Trade Bradley Beal to the Detroit Pistons

In this potential trade, the Pistons escape the abyss of mediocrity and become a top team in the East. Beal would join Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond to form a dynamic trio. The addition of Beal likely does not make the Pistons Eastern Conference favorites, but it puts them in the conversation.

For the Wizards, they get three future first round draft picks as well as a potential pick swap in 2023. To add on to the draft picks, The Wizards receive Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, and Sekou Doumbouya.

Reggie Jackson was used as a trade filler. As a point guard on a team with John Wall and Isaiah Thomas, Jackson would not really have a place on the Wizards. Jackson still has value and could be used to try to get more assets from a team desperate for a point guard. However, Jackson’s contract will likely be too big for teams to have a major interest in him.

Sekou Doumbouya was the Pistons first round pick in the 2019 draft, selected 15th overall. He was mocked a few times to the Wizards at ninth, but the Wizards chose Rui Hachimura instead. Doumbouya has a ton of raw potential and would add yet another young asset to the Wizards in a rebuild.

Luke Kennard is a great pickup for the Wizards. Kennard is just 23 years old and is about to enter his third season in the NBA. Yet, he has already developed a reputation as one of the best three point shooters in the league. His career three point percentage is amazing, shooting over 40 percent.

This is a lot of very good assets in exchange for Beal. However, the Wizards may hope to try to get more assets out of a Beal trade.
