The Golden State Warriors know that their window to win an NBA Championship is slowly closing. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson aren’t getting any younger and they need to make the most of their talents while they still can.
That’s why they’re expected to be quite aggressive in their pursuit of another star this summer, as they know that their championship core could use a little boost to get back to the NBA Finals after a couple of years without making the playoffs.
And, according to The Athletic, both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have already set their sights on Washington Wizards’ star Bradley Beal, who’s often been mentioned in trade rumors despite his loyalty to the franchise.
The Warriors Want To Trade For Bradley Beal

“Some on the Golden State Warriors are watching closely the next move of Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal. Should he become available, he’s at the top of the offseason wishlist.
The Warriors’ trio of stars — Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson — have made it clear to management they want the franchise to focus on the pursuit of a championship, even to consider using their two lottery picks to get someone who can help immediately, sources confirmed. Warriors general manager Bob Myers said their goal this offseason is to add more of a veteran presence.
Should the Warriors go that route, Beal, the Washington Wizards’ guard who made third-team All-NBA, is deemed to be the best player and best fit for the Warriors among the players who could potentially be available this offseason.”
It’s clear that luring Beal away from the nation’s capital will be a tricky task but the Warriors currently hold the 7th and 14th picks in the upcoming draft plus a promising player in James Wiseman, and that could be an appealing trade package for the Wizards, especially if they end up trading Russell Westbrook as well, as some have rumored.
