The Washington Wizards on Sunday agreed to trade Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns, quashing the Miami Heat’s hopes of landing the three-time All-Star. The Heat must now look elsewhere to acquire a high-end scoring talent.
According to multiple reports, the Wizards chose Phoenix’s package of Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and pick swaps over a package offered by the Heat centered around Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson. It’s unclear what else, if any other players or picks, was included in the offer.
Under new owner Matt Ishbia, the Suns were more aggressive in their pursuit and will acquire the final four years, $207 million of Beal’s contract.
