There has been no shortage of ink spilled over the idea of getting Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum‘s childhood friend Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards in green and white via trade — but what if you didn’t need to deal away valuable assets and contracts just to make that happen?
Those trade scenarios usually include star wing Jaylen Brown and then some, but depending on what the Celtics end up deciding to do this offseason, there may be a path to signing Beal outright in free agency. The advantages in such a scenario are clear — more talent and assets equate to a better shot at deep runs in future seasons — but how would it take shape?
The hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “Winning Plays” Brian Robb and Rich Levine discuss how it could come together in their most recent episode.
