Bradley Beal's name was one that was constantly tossed around as a trade target last year and even this offseason. But things have quieted on that front as there's a belief that Washington won't move him at the NBA trade deadline, for now. With the Wizards having a miserable year perhaps they will change their mind on deadline day. Beal might be missing some of the attention as he sent out this tweet:

It's hard to not love that move by Bradley Beal. He knows the situation, he knows what's going on. Maybe he's a little bored today so he thought nothing would be better than to send out a tweet that will certainly stir the pot and get people speculating.

The responses are what you would expect them to be. People trashing Beal, praising Beal, hoping that the Wizards trade Westbrook; the usual. At minimum it gets Beal's name to trend a bit on deadline day and again, this tweet might show he misses his name being brought up in trade discussions.

The Wizards have made a small move at the NBA trade deadline:

Hutchinson wasn't in the rotation in Chicago, only playing in seven games this year. Gafford has played in 31 and started in 11 for the Bulls, averaging 4.7 pointe per game. The move will hardly excite Beal or Wizards fans.

Have you seen the video from awhile back of the gentleman yelling at the cat through a store window and imploring that he will get the cat out of the store?

Yes, this one. This is how many fans feel about Bradley Beal. They want him to spread his wings and leave the lowly Wizards. NBA twitter has long tried to unite to get Beal out and save him so he can truly flourish with a better franchise.

It's unlikely that Bradley Beal is moved by the Wizards at the NBA trade deadline, but hey, you never know.
