Bradley Beal
The last player on this list shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that has been paying attention to the NBA in recent season. There is no hiding the fact that the Miami Heat have been watching intently to see if Bradley Beal’s situation with the Washington Wizards crumbles. Despite all of the issues that Washington has endured, Beal has remained committed to the team that drafted him third-overall in the 2012 NBA Draft.

But following a first-round exit for the Wizards, making it another disappointing conclusion to the season for Washington, Beal could have a change of hear this offseason. We’ve seen superstar players have more control of their situations in recent years.
Players have more power in where they play in today’s league, which is nice to see from a fan perspective. So if Bradley Beal REALLY wants out, there’s nothing that is stopping him from forcing Washington’s hand.
It goes without saying that Beal would be the perfect trade candidate for the Heat for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, he’s someone that would ease pressure off of Butler and Adebayo.
Secondly, he adds shooting to an offense that desperately needs it if they want to compete for a title. If Riley is able to land Bradley Beal in a trade this summer, fans of the team would be building statues of the legendary executive in their backyard immediately.
