The Miami Heat came agonizingly close to returning to the NBA Finals, as they lost a close Game 7 to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Heat were very close to facing the Golden State Warriors, but couldn’t punch their ticket to the Finals against a solid Celtics team. But Bleacher Report has suggested a trade for the offseason that could help the Heat do that next season.
Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz suggested a trade for the Miami Heat that would make them a superteam. This deal would involve Bradley Beal heading to South Beach, with the Wizards receiving Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin (via a sing-and-trade), and the Heat’s 2022 27th overall pick in exchange.
Bleacher Report’s trade idea:
Washington Wizards trade SG Bradley Beal to Miami Heat for SG Tyler Herro, G/F Duncan Robinson, SF Caleb Martin (via sign-and-trade), PG Gabe Vincent and 2022 first-round pick (No. 27 overall) pic.twitter.com/dl9qpRZ5eQ

Trade Idea: Washington Wizards trade SG Bradley Beal to Miami Heat for SG Tyler Herro, G/F Duncan Robinson, SF Caleb Martin (via sign-and-trade), PG Gabe Vincent and 2022 first-round pick (No. 27 overall)
New Superteam Core: G/F Jimmy Butler, SG Bradley Beal, C Bam Adebayo and PG Kyle Lowry (with P.J. Tucker and Max Strus)
This trade would allow the Heat to build an adequate team around a talented core that includes Jimmy Butler, Bradley Beal, Bam Adebayo, and Kyle Lowry.
With the stars available to the Heat, they would become one of the powerhouses in the Eastern Conference and could make a push for the NBA Finals the moment the deal comes through.
As for the Wizards, they would add Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, and Gabe Vincent, three talented young guards to add to their young core of Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma.
On top of that, the Wizards could also use the rest of their valuable assets in a trade, and build the team around Tyler Herro, who has shown that he can be a valuable player for any franchise. It is hard to see why either team would rebuff the deal, but we will have to wait and see whether it comes to fruition.
