Miami Heat Reportedly In Competition With Milwaukee Bucks For Bradley Beal

The Miami Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Now, they are in competition for something else during the offseason.

According to Bleacher Report, the Washington Wizards have agreed to allowing guard Bradley Beal to speak with other teams during the summer. The leading candidates are reportedly the Heat and Bucks.

The Heat have been linked with Beal for the past few seasons. He would provide a solid complementary player, lessening the load on leading scorer Jimmy Butler.

The Heat ran into problems this postseason when Butler was unable to score, especially in the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics and the NBA Finals versus the Denver Nuggets.

The Heat were able to outlast the Celtics because of a fast start in the series but were no match for the Nuggets, losing 4-1. By then, Butler was exhausted after carrying the team through the first three rounds.
