Ideal Bradley Beal trade package for the Golden State Warriors

Contrary to both Boston and Miami, the Warriors would definitely be willing to give up their best relatively young player in Wiggins to make this deal happen given the makeup of their roster.

From the Warriors’ perspective, all of their star players are getting up there in age, so making a win now move like this is a no-brainer.

While Wiggins is definitely the best player in the deal, the other three pieces are also elite trade assets, as James Wiseman, while he had a difficult rookie season at times, is still raw and was the number two pick last year for a reason, and Kuminga and Moody were both players who went a bit lower than some draft experts predicted.

From the perspective of the Wizards, this deal would be great as they would get two lottery players from this year’s draft to go along with Corey Kispert who they picked at 15, and Isaiah Todd, who they will be getting in a draft trade at pick 31 along with Aaron Holiday.

They also get another young player with lots of potential from last year’s draft along with a 26 year old player who still has some room to grow, and could possibly be moved again for more young players or picks in the near future.

The only way the Wizards don’t like this deal, in my opinion, is if they view Andrew Wiggins as a negative asset despite his age, as his contract isn’t great compared to his value, which would mean they would struggle to move him in the coming years.

If that is the case though, the Warriors do have more young players and picks they could include.

Comparing this deal to the ones with the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, not only does Golden State have a better starting trade package, they probably have a better final trade package as well, and are even more desperate to win now than the Heat are.

All in all, the Warriors most likely have the best offer for Bradley Beal when comparing their offer to Miami and Boston’s offers.
