Heat, Bucks Expected To Be Suitors For Bradley Beal

The Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal are working together on trade options. Washington needs to work with Beal, because the player has a no-trade clause that allows him to block any deal he doesn’t like.

Two teams that are expected to be suitors for Beal are the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. Miami could put together a trade package around Tyler Herro and other matching salary to bring in Beal and the over $207 million he is owed through 2026-27.

The Bucks have a more difficult path to a Beal trade. That would likely have to involve Khris Middleton going somewhere in a sign-and-trade, but that’s unlikely to be something that would interest the rebuilding Wizards. That would necessitate bringing a third team into the mix to complete a deal.
