Bradley Beal trade happening soon?
I think a Bradley Beal trade will happen, and will happen soon. The truth is, the Wizards don’t have much leverage. I think both team officials and Beal himself realize that parting ways is inevitable. In my opinion, what must be done eventually should be done immediately, especially in this instance. It’s difficult to envision a scenario in which Beal would substantially enhance his value if the Wizards keep him into the season ahead.

At the end of the day, Bradley Beal has a no-trade clause. He can basically decide between the Heat and Suns if he wants to.
Also, for those asking: Beal’s new team would also be subject to his NTC. – 12:28 PM

The more 1sts you trade to Wizards to entice them to accept $87 M owed Kyle/Duncan, fewer you have if an orca becomes available. That’s the tradeoff. If a star with interest in Miami becomes available, you need to hope Herro and 1 or 2 ones would suffice then, after getting Beal. – 5:13 PM

Remember, the path to keep the Heat tax bill at a manageable number – particularly 2024, 2025 – is trading Duncan/Lowry for Beal, not Vic/Lowry. If it’s Duncan and Lowry (which requires Wizards to take $87 M guaranteed), you can waive and stretch Vic and have small tax this yr. – 4:59 PM

Bradley Beal’s no-trade clause gives him a lot of power. He could force his way to a team even if they don’t have the best offer.

The timing element of a Bradley Beal trade is interesting.
The Heat only needs to come within 125 percent of Beal’s salary if it completes the trade by the end of June. That will change to 110 percent for first or second apron teams, which the Heat will be, starting on July 1. – 3:28 PM

If you’re wondering why the Wizards would limit themselves in a potential Beal trade to only dealing with the Suns and Heat, remember that Beal largely controls where he would go because of the no-trade clause. This is the consequence of agreeing to the NTC in the first place. – 3:24 PM

Only in the NBA can Hall of Fame players such as Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul reach their finish lines as salary-cap filler, as appears to be the case at the moment re: Beal. If Lowry goes to Wizards, could be one of those just-stay-at-home deals in case salary needed down the road. – 3:20 PM

I have no clue why diminishing returns remains a foreign concept to NBA teams desperate to add a third star when said third star replicates skills of the first two stars without noticeably filling in any other gaps.

Developing: Washington is in serious talks with two finalists – Miami and Phoenix – on a Bradley Beal trade, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The Suns have emerged as a serious threat for Beal, who holds a no-trade clause. – 1:49 PM

More on this storyline
But I’m convinced this new group wants to blow it up and take it as far down to the studs as it can. The best way to do that would be to take the Miami offer, middling though it is, collect as many picks from the Heat (and, potentially, a third team) as possible, and call it a day. As intriguing as Ayton would be to build around, making that deal would tie Washington, again, to a mid-level rebuild. Whether or not they re-sign Kuzma and/or Porziņģis, they’d likely have to run at least a good chunk of last year’s team back. And I don’t think Winger, Dawkins and Schlenk want to do that. -via The Athletic / June 18, 2023
According to league sources, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the trade talks, Miami would send guards Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson, along with multiple first-round picks, to Washington for Beal. Phoenix would send center Deandre Ayton and future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul to the Wizards for Bradley Beal. -via The Athletic / June 17, 2023
Acquiring Ayton would likely complicate any chances the Wizards retain their current starting center, Kristaps Porziņģis, who faces a deadline this coming Wednesday on whether or not to opt in on his player option for the 2023-24 season, at $36 million. If Porziņģis declines his player option, he would become an unrestricted free agent next month. -via The Athletic / June 17, 2023
