Bradley Beal

Miami Heat Receive: G Bradley Beal, C Alex Len

Washington Wizards Receive: G Tyler Herro, G Goran Dragic, F/C Kelly Olynyk, MIA 2022 1st Round Pick (Swap, More Favorable), MIA 2024 1st Round Pick (Swap, More Favorable), MIA 2025 1st Round Pick, MIA 2027 1st Round Pick

Bradley Beal has been featured in NBA trade rumors ever since the season began and we still do not know if he will be on the move or not. Washington and Beal have made their intention clear that he is not going anywhere, but the Miami Heat have been linked to him for months now and if they throw everything they have at the Wizards, it will be hard for Washington to turn down a mega-offer for him. 

Getting Tyler Herro, Goran Dragic, Kelly Olynyk and virtually four first-round picks for Bradley Beal is probably the best the Miami Heat can offer and it definitely is an offer the Wizards would have to think about. 

This trade could bring a ton of future value to the Washington Wizards and with them struggling to be anything special over the years, this trade could make a lot of sense. Washington traded for Russell Westbrook to begin the season, pairing him with Beal in the backcourt, but this team overall has a major lack of talent to be anything special this season.

Before the All-Star break, the Wizards had won 8 of their last 11 games, but overall, this team does not look like a playoff team. They do have some talented young players, but it will be years until this team is a real threat in the Eastern Conference and with Bradley Beal being in the prime of his career, it would make a lot of sense for him to get away from the Wizards. 

If the Miami Heat really want to trade for Bradley Beal this year, then they will have to be willing to give up a lot of value since he is one of the best players in the league. Adding him definitely makes the Heat a playoff team once again and gives them a real shot at defending their Eastern Conference Championship from a season ago.
