According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, rival teams have begun contacting the Washington Wizards to explore the potential trade of their three-time All-Star guard, Bradley Beal.

In light of this, team president Michael Winger and Beal's agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports, are maintaining close communication to discuss the various scenarios being presented to the franchise.
Beal, who recently completed the first year of a lucrative five-year, $251 million contract, holds a unique position in the NBA as the only current player with a no-trade clause negotiated into his deal. This grants him the power to not only influence potential destinations but also to consider how a trade package could impact his ability to join a contender elsewhere, as reported by Wojnarowski.
If Winger intends to undertake a substantial roster overhaul for a franchise that has missed the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, teams interested in acquiring Beal will need to engage in a three-way conversation involving Winger, Wizards general manager Will Dawkins, and Beal's agent Bartelstein.
Beal, who has spent his entire 11-year career in Washington, faced injury setbacks but managed to average 23.2 points on a career-best shooting percentage of 51% throughout this past season.
