Washington Wizards trade rumors 2016: Is John Wall on the block?

The Washington Wizards are one of a handful of teams in the National Basketball Association that can't boast of playoff success in the last few years. While the team is led by one of the best backcourt duos in the league, point guard John Wall and shooting guard Bradley Beal have not really been that successful in giving the franchise a consistent dig in the postseason. With a 4–9 record early in the regular season, which by the way is good for 14th place in the East, it's another one of those tough grinds that Wall will have to endure all season long.

But is it already tipping point for him? Well, several rumors online claim that the 26-year-old American is no longer happy with the team's seemingly satisfied culture of losing. Accordingly, Wall might end up getting traded anytime soon and that his most ideal destination would be the Miami Heat. And for a balanced deal to come out, the Heat will have to send two guards in return, starting point guard Goran Dragić and emerging star Tyler Johnson.

This trade speculation may not be more than a theory right now, but the fact remains that Wall would welcome a change in environment this season, considering that he's been with Washington his entire career after the Wizards chose him as the first overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Since that time, Wall has never played beyond the Eastern Conference Finals, a place where the Wizards found themselves in during the 2014 playoffs. However, they lost to the Indiana Pacers, 4–2.

It's probably a long shot for Wall to demand a trade, considering how patient he's been all these years and considering the fact that having a new coach in Scott Brooks could also be reason enough for him to realize that change could be happening for the Wizards this year. But with losses continuing to pile up, anyone may eventually reach boiling point.
