Miami Heat Receive: G Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: G Tyler Herro, G/F Duncan Robinson, F P.J. Tucker, 2024 First-Round Pick, 2026 First-Round Pick, 2028 First-Round Pick

The Miami Heat have shown a willingness to do whatever it takes to complete a deal if they feel it would push them closer to becoming champions again. Anytime a big-name player comes available, they have to be considered at least a darkhorse to acquire them.

This offseason, Bradley Beal could be the premier free agent with a chance to move on. Zach LaVine and James Harden are likely to opt out and return to their respective teams.

Beal, however, seems to legitimately be on the fence.

Washington wants to retain him, but the Heat will present him with a chance to contend and it will be too much to overcome. To avoid losing him for nothing, the teams will work out a sign-and-trad deal.

The centerpiece of the package heading back to Washington is Tyler Herro, who has broken out in Year 3. He is the odds on favorite to win the Sixth Man of the Year award this season.

Duncan Robinson has seen his 3-point shooting percentage drop this season but has an excellent track record from 3-point range in his career. P.J. Tucker is included to help match salary, he would have to opt into his player option like Goran Dragic did last offseason for the Kyle Lowry deal.
