DRAFT ON THURSDAY. FREE AGENCY ON MONDAY. THINGS ARE HAPPENING! • Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard are the disgruntled superstar posterboys of this offseason. With rumors spreading over the past couple of weeks that either/both could request a trade, the entire NBA universe has pretty much been in the palm of their hand. Beal, specifically, feels closer than ever to a potential departure from Washington. While the organization took a step in the right direction by returning to the playoffs last season, the framework to turn into a true Eastern Conference contender is lacking. With that being the case, it was not too surprising that The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Beal has “seriously been mulling his future in recent weeks.” Charania also wrote that a decision on whether or not Beal will finally ask out should come before the NBA Draft on Thursday night.
