The Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns are engaged in trade talks with the Washington Wizards to acquire Bradley Beal, per reports.
Beal, 29, has also been linked with a move to the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason. The Boston Celtics are another previously rumored destination due to the player's long-standing friendship with Jayson Tatum. However, long-time admirers Miami and emerging threat Phoenix are reportedly the most serious contenders to land the lead guard. The Athletic report that both teams are negotiating with the Wizards over Beal.
It comes days after reports that the franchise would work with Beal, who has a no-trade clause, to facilitate a move should they decide to reset their roster this offseason following a change of front-office decision-makers. The suggested seriousness of these talks indicates that a rebuild is imminent in the DMV.
