Bradley Beal admits frustration with losing with Wizards
The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA once again this season. The team may have parted ways with John Wall and brought in Russell Westbrook, but the team still can’t seem to win games even with Bradley Beal having a career year.
Beal has been a hot commodity on the trade market for the last couple of years, but he has repeatedly said he has no desire to be traded elsewhere. That stance may change soon enough as he’s grown increasingly frustrated with losing as he continues to light up the scoreboard on a nightly basis, via ESPN.

“It’s tough,” Beal said. “I am not going to sit here and be naive. … We want to win, and I want to win. This is why I stayed. I want to win. I figured this is the place I can get it done. It’s tough. Last year was what it was. We had a lot of guys out. John [Wall] was out. It was just a rotten year. COVID hit.”

Beal has been a scoring machine as of late. He is coming off a 47-point performance against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the Wizards still lost by 18 points, which prompted this reaction after the game.
The Wizards guard is currently leading the league in scoring at 35.4 points per game, which is nearly five points better per contest than the second in line in Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets.
