NBA Rumors: Wizards Not Trading Potential Celtics Target Bradley Beal

If the Boston Celtics decide they want to make a major move amid their roster turnover, it doesn’t appear it’ll be for a Washington Wizards star.

It was reported earlier in the week the Celtics might be eyeing Wizards guard Bradley Beal in the seemingly imminent event Kyrie Irving walks in free agency. But according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman, it looks like Washington isn’t going to move Beal to not just Boston, but anywhere else around the league.

Beal is both incredibly skilled and has term on his contract, so such a move absolutely would’ve required a pretty big return heading the Wizards’ way.

Now, as we all have learned, the NBA offseason can be unpredictable. As such, it wouldn’t be shocking at all if the Wizards, a fairly directionless team at the moment, have a change of heart. But for now, it looks like the Celtics need to focus their attention elsewhere.
