Ultimately, I’m in control, I think that’s my biggest thing. People are going to report whatever they want, but I know where my mind is, and I know if it’s not coming from the horse’s mouth, then it’s going to be rumors. I expect them. S–t, they’re starting now. So it doesn’t change anything. I guess it’s going to increase a lot more this year with me going into the last year of my deal, but for me, I’m just relaxing, resting my body, and we’ll evaluate all that when summer comes.
Although Bradley Beal has not given an official comment, it will be interesting to see where he lands if he does decide to move from the Washington Wizards.

Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors are interested in signing Beal
The Golden State Warriors are looking to strengthen their backcourt before the next season. They already have the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The addition of Beal will make the Warriors an even bigger threat in the league. The best possible offer they can put forward is to give up their 7th and 14th picks.
The Toronto Raptors might look to add Beal to their roster as they might lose their veteran, Kyle Lowry. The North will be looking to build a team that can create a post-Kyle Lowry legacy. The addition of Bradley Beal would be really helpful. Fred Van Vleet, Beal and OG would be big offensive threats. To trade for Beal, the Raptors will have to give up their 4th pick and maybe Pascal Siakam. The Raptors are however also eyeing Portland star, Damian Lillard.
The Boston Celtics are also one of the teams who have shown interest in Bradley Beal. Bringing Beal to the Celtics will be great for Boston. Beal already has great chemistry and a bond with the Boston star, Jayson Tatum. To acquire Beal, The Celtics will have to put up a big offer that will also include Jaylen Brown.
Where Bradley Beal will land this summer is still a huge question but wherever he signs, that team has automatically added an extremely talented shooting guard to their roster.
