THE WASHINGTON Wizards are in “serious talks” with the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns about a trade for three-time All-Star Bradley Beal, The Athletic reported Saturday.
Mr. Beal is the only NBA player with a full no-trade clause in his contract. Reports earlier this week said Beal and the Wizards had agreed to work together on a trade if the team elects to rebuild the roster this offseason.
Mr. Beal has four seasons remaining on a five-year, $251-million deal he signed last July. He carries a $46.7-million cap hit for the 2023-24 season, per Spotrac.
Mr. Beal, 29, averaged 23.2 points and 5.4 assists in just 50 games last season. He was limited by injuries and a stint in the health and safety protocol. — Reuters
