Washington Wizards Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, G/F RJ Barrett, F P.J. Tucker, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 11 – NYK)
Miami Heat Receive: G Bradley Beal
New York Knicks Receive: G Tyler Herro, G/F Duncan Robinson, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA)
If the Washington Wizards are ready to finally move on from star guard Bradley Beal, the New York Knicks and Miami Heat could take advantage of the situation.
Together, they’re able to cobble together a package that the Wizards ought to accept without surrendering too much value in either case. Each team should be satisfied with their return here.
Granted, parting with Barrett stings for the Knicks here. It should still be worth it. Herro has probably got roughly equal upside, and they’re landing a first-round pick in addition to the dynamic young scoring guard.
Meanwhile, the Heat land the best player in the trade. That fact alone justifies their decision here. By placing Beal alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, they’ll be right back in the mix for the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2022-23.

On the other hand, the Knick could decide that swapping Barrett for Herro isn’t worth their while. In that event, another three-team deal may find Herro on the Knicks.
