Last week, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Washington Wizards were making all their players available in trade discussions, including franchise stars John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Though Wall (whom the Wizards drafted first overall in 2010), is the bigger household name, Wojnarowski notes that Beal could be more desirable in a trade. This is because he's three years younger than Wall (25 vs. 28), and has a better contract.

As the Wizards start listening to offers around the league for their best players, one NBA  Eastern Conference scout told Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report where he thinks Beal would fit nicely.

"Beal would be a perfect fit next to LeBron (James)," the scout said. "He's a much better shooter than [Brandon] Ingram, and LeBron needs shooters."

Beal is averaging 21.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in the 2018-19 season. He's shooting an impressive 45.5 percent from the field and 32.8 percent from three-point range.

The 25-year-old Beal has helped the Wizards reach the playoffs four times, and he was named to his first All-Star game last season. He's averaged over 20 points per game in each of the last two seasons.

The Lakers rank in the top-10 for both field goal percentage (47.8), and three-point shooting (36 percent). But adding Beal to that lethal offense could be the difference maker in helping Los Angeles compete with the defending champion Golden State Warriors in a difficult Western Conference.

What This Means

Furthermore, the Lakers have plenty of quality trade assets they could offer up to the Wizards. This includes youngsters Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma, plus draft picks.

Washington seems ready for a rebuild, and the Lakers would be able to offer them a handful of young assets to help the Wizards start all over.

James came to the Lakers with the expectation that the front office would supply him with a superstar or two in the near future. Getting a young, in-his-prime Beal would certainly be a nice start.
