3 teams that could get Bradley Beal to waive his no-trade clause
Teams that can get Bradley Beal to waive his no-trade clause; 1. Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have just finished one of the most improbable playoff runs ever by making the NBA Finals as the No. 8 seed. Since Jimmy Butler has been on the team, they have made the conference finals three times and the NBA Finals twice. Each time it has been the same story where Jimmy Butler needs a co-star.
The Heat should strongly be pursuing Bradley Beal. He will give the Heat another scoring and playmaking option around Jimmy Butler which he will desperately need when it comes to the postseason.
The Heat have a lot of players and there are many different potential trades that they could pull off in order to get Beal — one of them being Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2028 first-round pick. This one is more unlikely because Lowry is aging but it allows the Heat to keep Tyler Herro where he can resume his role as the best Sixth Man in the league.
If the Heat wanted to pull off a Bradley Beal trade, the package will more than likely be centered around Tyler Herro, who is about to enter the first year of a four-year, $120 million extension. Instead of giving up Lowry, the Heat would just do Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and the two first-round picks for Bradley Beal.
Either trade for the Heat won’t affect them that much, as they can try to keep important role players such as Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, Caleb Martin and Kevin Love, all of whom played key roles in this year’s Cinderella run. The Miami Heat with Bradley Beal will be one of if not the favorites in the Eastern Conference.
