Beal Goes Off In DC Reunion!

By on

        Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal made his return to Washington DC, where it all started. Beal was drafted by the Wizards in 2012. He would spend eleven season in DC and despite the lack of success, Beal showed dedication and loyalty to the Wizards. Beal will be known as one of the best in Wizards' history as he is third in franchise history wins (342), third in games played (695), second in points (15,391), second in field goals made (5,624), first in three pointers made (1,514), third in assists (2,972) and second in steals (772). 



        Last summer, Beal and the Wizards agreed that it was time to move on and close their chapter together. On June 24th, it was announced that Bradley Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns to partner up with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Beal has dealt with some injuries this season that has kept him in and out of the lineup but has recently has managed to stay on the court. On February 4th, Beal has made his return to DC and he went off for a new season-high. 


        In his DC reunion, Bradley Beal scored a new season-high 43 points, shooting 16 of 21 (76%) from the field and 4 of 5 (80%) from three point range. Beal has been known for his scoring ability, he even scored a career-high 60 points during his Wizards tenure against the Philadelphia 76ers. Beal did everything he could to help Washington compete but could never get the right pieces to help him along with the unfortunate injures of his former backcourt partner John Wall. Beal is in a great situation with the Phoenix Suns, a championship contender, and if he can stay healthy then the Suns have a great chance.

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

Knicks Big Man Search

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
