Miami Heat: 3 blockbuster trades to form the new big three
By Jack Simone
The Miami Heat trade Tyler Herro, Goran Dragic, Andre Iguodala, Precious Achiuwa, KZ Okpala, a 2024 First-Round Pick, a 2025 First-Round Pick (Swap), a 2026 First-Round Pick, and a 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap) to the Washington Wizards for Bradley Beal.
If the Miami Heat could somehow pull this off, they would be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. Bradley Beal is the perfect player to pair alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
Offense was the main area where the Heat struggled last season. Beal is one of the most talented offensive players in the entire league.
Pairing his scoring with the Miami Heat’s defense could form the next superteam. They would legitimately be able to rival the Brooklyn Nets’ big three.
At only 27 years old, Beal is in the prime of his career. Joining the Miami Heat would give him a chance to win a title as the primary scoring option.
For this deal to get done, however, the Washington Wizards would have to commit to a rebuild. Tyler Herro would be the focal point of this trade, while Precious Achiuwa is a decent player to take a chance on.
This means they would likely trade Russell Westbrook, too. Regardless, Washington entering a rebuild would be the only way this trade could happen.
If that were to happen, though, Pat Riley should be on the phone immediately. Beal would turn the Miami Heat from a solid playoff team to a title contender right away.
