Bradley Beal is getting tired of trade speculation from Wizards: “I’m getting nitpicked for choosing to stay in DC”

‘Feel like I’m getting nitpicked for choosing to stay in D.C’: Bradley Beal talks about staying in Washington as the Wizards’ star.

Since Bradley Beal was a lanky 19-year old in the league, he has been nothing but loyal to the Washington Wizards. He has had his fair share of ups and rock bottom downs. Over the past few weeks ‘Free Beal’ has been trending and fans want Beal to channelise his talents someplace else.

Amid all the trade talk surrounding him lately, Beal continues to show absolutely no interest in parting ways with the Washington organization. It’s a mutual feeling as the Wizards, too, show no interest in trading their All-Star.

Bradley Beal has so far expressed he wants to remain with the Wizards and has not indicated he prefers a trade, per sources.

Beal, however, feels frustrated for the portrayal of his situation in D.C.
