#1 Miami Heat
While plenty of teams will be interested in adding Beal, no team appears as determined as the Miami Heat. Pat Riley is a big fan of the shooting guard and the legendary executive is desperate to add a second star to play alongside his latest recruit in Jimmy Butler.
Butler himself will turn 30 later this year, and it is believed that Riley offered the All-Star some significant assurances over his vision for the Heat.

It is also worth noting that Miami were putting together a trade package for Russell Westbrook before the point guard headed to Houston, and Beal could be next. Reports have also suggested that the Heat are willing to take on John Wall as part of a huge trade and this could be the deciding factor due to Washington's apparent desire to trade away their injury-prone star.
