Magic Starting 5: Bradley Beal Trade to Orlando?

In this story:
"This gets a bit complex, but the Wizards are eventually going to have to accept Beal isn’t the centerpiece for a contending team," DraftKings Nation writes. "The Magic get Beal to accelerate their timeline."
“I’ve always been the youngest coming up," Whitmore said. "Just having a mature type of body and mentality, that’s what you need: a confidence in the NBA. That’s what you need to stay in the NBA. I think that’s what I have. I’m ready for it.”
"Lively, who declared for the draft after his freshman year, started 25 games for the Blue Devils this past season, averaging 5.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. While the offensive numbers don't stand out, the 7-1 center can be a force on the defensive end, averaging 2.3 blocks per contest."
"Despite Jayson Tatum’s best efforts to get his Celtics going throughout the game, the Heat came away with the win by blowing out the Celtics, ultimately getting a 26-point win."
Now, the Celtics face elimination against the Heat tonight in Miami. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EST.
