It didn’t take long for someone to try to shut down the Bradley Beal to Brooklyn movement.
Although the Nets have reportedly had internal discussions about finding a way to acquire the Wizards guard, there’s still the matter of Washington’s feelings about Beal and vice versa.
Despite the struggles the Wizards have had lately, Beal signed a two-year extension at the start of 2019-20 — so neither is looking to part ways. And Mark Bartlestein, Beal’s agent, made clear both sides still feel similarly when speaking with Adam Zagoria of Forbes:
There are no Beal Sweepstakes and that’s why he re-signed with the Wizards.
Bartlestein added:
Brad re-signed with the Wizards because he wanted to stay in Washington and the Wizards wanted to keep him there.
