The Golden State Warriors are going to be a menace next season. The return of Klay Thompson and a healthy Stephen Curry will serve as the cornerstones of what could be a serious title challenge from the Dubs. As it turns out, however, the Warriors aren't done yet, with reports now emerging that they could be looking to add Washington Wizards superstar Bradley Beal to their already formidable lineup.
According to Marcus Thompson of The Athletic, Curry, Thompson, and even Draymond Green “have made it clear to management they want the franchise to focus on the pursuit of a championship.” In this respect, the trio has reportedly urged the front office to “consider using their two lottery picks to get someone who can help immediately.” Apparently, sitting at the very top of their wishlist is none other than Bradley Beal:
Should the Warriors go that route, Beal, the Washington Wizards’ guard who made third-team All-NBA, is deemed to be the best player and best fit for the Warriors among the players who could potentially be available this offseason.
The Dubs have the necessary assets to pursue this deal. Aside from their two lottery picks, the highly promising James Wiseman has also been rumored to be a potential trading chip for the Warriors.
The big question now is whether or not Golden State can pry Beal away from the Wizards. The All-Star shooting guard has been linked to a move away from DC, but he's been loyal to the Wizards for many years now. He also has two more years remaining in his current deal, and it looks like Beal is already liking new coach Wes Unseld Jr.
Here's a thought: How many triples per game would a trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Bradley Beal average? Mind-blowing.
