Bradley Beal Pipe Dream is Over, Sorry.
Bucks fans are weird creatures. There’s no other better way to describe them. Even when everything is going right, they either want something better or the pemissism sinks in. For some, they wanted Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Some Bucks fans believed that he could be a better version of what Khris Middleton brings to the table, and Beal still has three years left in his contract, therefore, could be a reliable piece to the future. This dream can cease to exist as Washington’s owner, Ted Leonsis, made it official that the Wizards are not trading Beal. Thank god, this was a dumb idea by the GM council of the Milwaukee Bucks fan base.

Ted Leonsis: "Bradley Beal has told me, 'we have enough. … We're not going to let you down.' … We're not letting anybody off the hook, we got to make the playoffs." https://t.co/dF4BilpgWx

I still don’t understand why people want Beal over Middleton. Is Beal a better player? Yes and this season, Beal has been out of his mind with John Wall sidelined with a foot injury. But if you trade Middleton, what does that do for your chemistry? Bucks are a tight knit group right now. Why the fuck would you mess with that when this team is 20 games over .500?. Bucks would become better with Beal, but Middleton makes more sense for this right now. Bucks are in no rush or hurry to make a major move. They have a good team, and they’re showing it night in and night out. I feel like those who want Middleton gone are the same ones who will bitch if Middleton does not re-sign with the team.
Bucks are just fine and Beal can continue living his life in Washington.
