Trade #3

Clippers get: Bradley Beal, 44th Pick

Wizards get: 12th Pick, 13th Pick, Sindarius Thornwell

The Clippers get the 24 year-old Sharpshooter who they can make the face of the franchise. Just imagine a possible lineup of Beverley, Beal, Gallinari, Harris, DJ. They will be balanced both on offense and defense.
