On Thursday afternoon the Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets agreed to a trade that sent shockwaves through the NBA — and that hit particularly hard in the Beal household.
The Wizards traded Bradley Beal’s long-time teammate in Washington, John Wall, to the Houston Rockets in exchange for another All-Star Russell Westbrook. After news of the trade broke, Brad took to Instagram to pay tribute to his “brother” Wall and their eight years together as teammates.

Brad also spoke about the trade during his meeting with the media on Friday afternoon.
“John left tremendous, tremendous impact on the city of D.C. [and] he left a tremendous impact on me and my family,” Brad said. “I get emotional but it was tough man because he’s a brother…and you realize that relationship was so, so strong, but it was so crazy because a lot of people tried to break us apart. A lot of people tried to pull us apart, put us against each other, and it was just always crazy because when we came together and had those conversations, [it] was the total opposite of what everybody was making into rumors.”
