 I believe this may be John Wall final year w/ the Wizards if the Wizards have a disappointing year, I don’t by the way. I believe they will win 45-49 games. Today there was a article about how Bradley Beal and John Wall don’t get along w/ one another, http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-wizards/wizards-john-wall-bradley-beal-must-put-aside-tendency-dislike-each-other-court. 

This may lead to John Wall demanding a trade. He had recent struggles with veterans on his team, talking about the fans of the Wizards, and complained about the lack of advertising that he’s getting around DC. To pile all that into this have me to believe if the Wizards struggle to make the playoffs and gets bounced out the first round or miss the playoffs, I would believe he would demand a trade like CP3 and Deron Williams. 

Teams that I can see that are interested in his is the…..

1. Dallas Mavericks
2. Chicago Bulls
3. Philadelphia 76ers
4. Boston Celtics
5. Los Angeles Lakers (If D’Angelo Russell struggle mightily this season)

 I’d like to see boogie and wall team up.

Beal and Oubre for Boogie?

Man, as a Celtics fan I would love to swap Thomas, Bradley, James Young, and a future pick(not this years) for J-Wall if it was possible; but probably not going to happen. I think a nice darkhorse fit for J-Wall would be the Magic. I could see Ibaka, Biyombo, J-Wall, Hezonja, and Fournier combo work very nice.

Think that article is over blown. You’d be hard pressed to find teammates that get along all the damn time, on/off the court.  But Wall/Beal both were quoted acknowledging they get in to it, but it  sounds more like frustration from trying to win rather than personal issues. Wall said "I want Beal to be an all-star" and Beal said "I wouldn’t be here without Wall". It’s almost like you didn’t read the article but ran with the headline.

 

I don’t believe he’d demand a trade personally. He signed that contract with no option at all. He fully committed himself when he could have said "hey if we aren’t good by this time, I have an opt out" but he didn’t. If anything I think he’d try to get a 3rd guy to come to d.c. to play with him and Beal if I came down to it.

 Wizards are a mess. I would of never signed Beal back. I would build around Wall and Oubre. They need more talented players. Wall wont like losing for too long. That article is crazy, he said allot of strong words about Beal and I believe he dosent like him.

 I feel bad for Wall.  He’s the ultimate competitor and I don’t believe the Wizards have done enough to build around him to make them a contender.  Beal got his massive contract and Wall is probably thinking, "Ok, you got paid now let’s go play ball and stay on the friggon court this time."  Beal is ALWAYS injured.  He’s just an injury prone guy.  Wall is a warrior  Two years ago he fractured his hand, missed a couple games, got it taped up and went out and competed.  I believe if the Wiz underachieve again this year and or Beal misses a good chunk of the season with another injury he will demand a trade. Wall is a guy that leaves it out on the floor every night.  His patience is wearing thin and he doesn’t want to waste his prime years stuck in mediocrity.  The Wizards haven’t met him halfway and I completely understand why he is frustrated.

 I never knew this problem existed. I knee the two have had thier differences but the two seem uncompatible. To me this is a franchise/coaching problem. A culture had to be set immediately and a pecking order put in place. Randy Whitman and the Wizards never truely  developed Beal or Wall into good vocal and humble leaders. They seemed more focused on bringing vetd in like Pierce or Dudley to slap a bandaid on that problem rather than teaching their stars how to be effective and coexist in leadership roles.

"I would build it around Wall and Oubre…" 

 "They need more talented players…" 

Am I missing something or does this logic make no sense at all?
