Bradley Beal
The most popular player that is going to hear his name in trade rumors this offseason is Bradley Beal. Beal is entering the prime of his career and he’s now one of the premier offensive players in the association.
The former first-round pick out of Florida just finished as the second-leading scorer in the NBA this season, only for the Washington Wizards to be ousted in the first round of the playoffs, making it the fifth time in his career he was eliminated in the first or second round of the postseason.
With the Wizards needing a coach to replace Scott Brooks, will Beal want to endure another coaching change? If Bradley Beal goes forward with a request to be traded, the Heat are a perfect fit for his talents.
Miami would instantly have three go-to scorers on offense, and it would immediately make them a team that can compete for a title in the Eastern Conference. While Washington would want more than Tyler Herro in a trade, the 21-year-old shooting guard would be at the forefront of the trade.

It is going to take quite the package from Pat Riley to lure Bradley Beal away from the Wizards. That being said, it would be remiss for the Heat to not at least try to land the All-Star guard from Washington.
