Former NBA Center Reveals Huge Bradley Beal Rumor

With NBA players having their own podcasts, fans are sometimes able to get the real inside scoop like never before. Former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut has dropped a huge rumor on his pod, stating that Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal is working to get himself to Philadelphia in the offseason to create a 'Big 3' with Joel Embiid and James Harden. 

On his Rogue Bogues podcast, Bogut laid out the "word on the street":

I’ve heard a pretty big rumor … from some people that are pretty close to the situation in the NBA: Big three to Philly. Brad Beal is trying to get to Philadelphia in the offseason to team up with Harden and Embiid.

Bogut explained that the other rumors we've heard of the Sixers trying to get off of Tobias Harris's massive contract to clear some cap space, are also 'on the money':

Philly’s desperate, obviously, to try to get off Harris, anyway. They have been for a while. And I think they’re even more desperate now to free up that cap space somehow. It will most likely have to be a sign-and-trade with Philly. But don’t be surprised if a big three forms in Philly. That’s the word on the street.

Now, officially, Beal has said he is leaning towards re-signing with the Wizards this summer—it's the only team he's known in his 10-year NBA career. But he's also only played in 4 playoff series with the Wiz in the last seven years. And has never made it out of the 2nd round. Teaming up with The Process and the The Beard could be his ticket to a title. 

Beal had season-ending wrist surgery last month, but this will be something to watch this summer, especially if the Sixers find a team to take on Harris's contract.
