The Washington Wizards dropped to 3-10 after losing to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. A clip of a disappointed Bradley Beal circulated quickly over the Internet, prompting a Los Angeles Lakers fan to call general manager Rob Pelinka to start making some moves. The tweet reached Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade and told the fan to wait.
Via Twitter, watch the reaction of a word from Wade mixed with some emojis for any thought of a potential Beal-to-LA business. Clearly, he is not a fan of the idea.

Tuesday’s duel marks Beal’s first time against former teammate John Wall. Perhaps that is the reason why the loss took an extra pain and made Lakers fans smell the blood in the water. Beal had the game’s best mark, 33 points, along with five rebounds and three assists in a losing effort. Only he and Russell Westbrook (19 points) reached double digits in points.
Clearly, that was not enough to take down the Rockets who had five players in double digits. Wall was 24, Eric Gordon and Victor Oladipo added 20 points each, and DeMarcus Cousins added 19. It was clear that it was the Rockets who won the blockbuster.
As for the inclusion of Pelinka in the fiasco, it may not be the best idea to make a move for Beal. After all, why mess with success? If the Lakers were to acquire it, they would have to give up most of their players. And considering how the Lakers are playing, taking several pieces out of the puzzle is not necessarily ideal.
Anyway, Lakers fans are just having fun. If there are any pieces that they think would fit, getting Pelinka’s attention won’t hurt.
