The Characters!

They then turned their attention to Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards. After more than a few days of reports flying back and forth about a potential deal between the two clubs, it was eventually revealed that the Miami Heat might have had to be willing to take on John Wall‘s massive contract in order to land Bradley Beal, but nothing ultimately came of that either.

While all the talk has surrounded what the Heat may have to take on to land Bradley Beal, less of that talk has actually focused on and logically pondered on what the Miami Heat would have to be willing to part with in order to make the deal happen. That is why you are here today.

When looking at the Miami Heat roster, there are quite a few enticing players that the Washington Wizards could be looking to receive if a deal was struck to bring Bradley Beal over to Miami. You potentially have Bam Adebayo, Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, James Johnson, Meyers Leonard, Derrick Jones Jr., Kendrick Nunn, KZ Okpala, Kelly Olynyk, Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters, and Duncan Robinson that could all imaginably be in the mix if a deal were to be struck.

This leads to an interesting question though. While Bradley Beal may individually be worth more value to a franchise than any of the players named as individuals or even if you had two of them going out for one, that doesn’t mean that the trade is as valuable to the team.
