With trade rumors swirling around Washington Wizards stars John Wall and Bradley Beal, more fuel was added to the fire in the form of a recent volatile practice that included verbal altercations among players, league sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Beal was among those involved and reportedly told team officials: "I've been dealing with this for seven years."

Entering Monday evening, the Wizards sit 11th in the Eastern Conference and 2 1/2 games back of the Charlotte Hornets for the eighth seed.

With the Wizards underperforming, it appears that they've reached a boiling point and a rebuild could be imminent.

Wall and Beal haven't always seen eye-to-eye in the past and have never advanced past the Eastern Conference semifinals during their entire tenure together.
