Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has made it known he wants out of the nation's capital, according to Chris Sheridan of Get More Sports.
The Wizards have started the season 7-12, and there are rumors circulating that the front office isn’t opposed to trading point guard John Wall or Bradley Beal.

Bradley Beal signed a five-year, $127 million deal in 2016 with the Wizards. The former No. 3 overall pick is averaging 21.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game on the season while shooting 45.5 percent from the field, 32.8 percent from beyond the arc and 75.5 percent from the free-throw line.
If the Wizards are looking to tear down the roster and rebuild with young assets, Bradley Beal will get them the best return. Washington likely won't have any luck trading John Wall. The five-time All-Star signed a $170 million contract that kicks in next season. While Wall is one of the best point guards in the game, he’s not worth $40 million a season.
Zach Lowe of ESPN reported last week that the Wizards are asking for the moon in Bradley Beal trade talks. Beal is one of the best shooters in the game and only 25-years-old. He can create his own shot off the dribble and help space the floor. Any contending team would love to have Beal on their team.
Bradley Beal has been with the Wizards since 2012. He is the franchise's all-time leader in 3-pointers.
