The Miami Heat have responded quickly after missing out on the signing of the outgoing Bradley Beal from their NBA rival Washington Wizards by identifying their next top trade target.
On Sunday it was reported that Beal was moving from the Wizards after nine years with the franchise, with the Phoenix Suns securing the services of the 29-year-old ahead of the new 2023-24 season . Beal was first drafted by the Washington-based franchise as a No. 3 pick back in 2012.
He has since spent the whole of his NBA career with the Wizards, but the Missouri-born shooting guard has since opted to waive his no-trade option exclusively for the Phoenix Suns.
