It was reported earlier on Thursday that the Golden State Warriors are looking to make a move on Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards, with the potential swoop already receiving the stamp of approval from the trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. This latest bombshell has now cast doubt on the speculation surrounding Damian Lillard's rumored move to The Bay.
According to Blake Schuster of Bleacher Report, the Warriors have decided to turn their attention to Beal after being led to believe that Lillard is no longer within their reach:
The Golden State Warriors don't believe Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard would be open to joining the team via trade as both clubs look to rebound after disappointing finishes to their respective seasons.
As a result, the Warriors have now moved on from Lillard and are eyeing none other than Bradley Beal as a potential third Splash Brother. According to reports, Golden State's Big 3 have urged management to use their two lottery picks to bring in another star to the team. The Dubs are clearly in win-now mode.
You have to note that Lillard and Beal are two of the biggest names in the NBA today. If anything, the Warriors' rumored interest in both players speaks volumes of the type of mindset this team possesses in the offseason. The Dubs are going for broke as they look to capitalize on Curry's dwindling prime years. The rest of the league better be ready.
