Bradley Beal’s Agent Denies Memphis Grizzlies Trade Rumors

Despite published reports that the Washington Wizards offered Bradley Beal as part of a package for Rudy Gay, Beal’s agent says no such offer was ever on the table. Per the WaPo: “Wizards rookie guard Bradley Beal has not been mentioned in trade discussions with the Memphis Grizzlies involving swingman Rudy Gay, according to Beal’s agent, Mark Bartelstein. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal reported Monday that the Grizzlies have ‘entertained’ an offer from the Wizards that would include Beal in a larger package.’I’ve talked to both teams. There is absolutely nothing to it,’ Bartelstein said. ‘The Wizards have made it very clear that they are not moving Brad Beal.’ Multiple league sources confirm that the Wizards have spoken with Memphis about prying away Gay, the team’s leading scorer, with one adding that Washington is ‘pushing for’ his services. That push, however, does not include Beal, the third overall pick of the 2012 draft.”
