Bradley Beal has been with the Washington Wizards since the start of his career.
In fact, he is one of the few NBA stars to never move to a different team since his rookie season.
But recent reports suggest that Beal’s time in DC might be coming to an end, and he could be on the hunt for another team.
However, NBA insider James Ham said that it’s “unlikely” that Beal will make the Sacramento Kings his new team.

It has been reported that the Wizards have granted Beal and his management permission to speak with other teams throughout the league.
Apparently, both the Wizards and Beal’s representatives will work together to find a new home for the guard if Washington decides to rebuild the team.
Reports also say that Beal wants to transfer to a team that has a chance to contend.
Because of this, some people imagined a future where Beal is playing for the Kings.
But that isn’t going to be his destination, according to Ham.
Beal is a 29-year-old All-Star who averaged 23.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in the last season.
Just last summer, he signed a monster five-year, $250 million max contract extension with the Wizards.
One year later, it sounds like he is on the verge of leaving.
Beal still has plenty of talent but his team has continued to struggle and that is why the front office might be contemplating some big changes.
For years, Beal has been one of the most loyal players in the league.
That might change soon but he apparently won’t be heading to Sacramento for the next phase of his career.
