However, the Washington Wizards have struggled badly, and NBA Trade Rumors indicate the shooting guard may be on his way this season. On that note, let's check the latest update on contenders who are plotting a move for the St. Louis native.

According to Miami Heat beat reporter Barry Jackson, the Heat are inclined towards making a move for star shooting guard Bradley Beal. This is despite the Washington Wizards' claims that they are not willing to discuss an NBA trade for the two-time All-Star.

Bradley Beal has been pulverizing opposition defenses this season, and is averaging nearly 35 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds per game. NBA trade Rumors suggest he is looking to join a championship contender, and the Miami Heat are a franchise that can help him win his maiden Championship ring.

The Miami Heat have failed to impress this season, and currently sit on an underwhelming 4-6 record. They have struggled in recent games, partly because of the fact that they are missing multiple players due to health and safety reasons. The Heat take on the Pistons on Sunday, and will be looking to resume their playoff push.

On the other hand, Bradley Beal's Washington Wizards are going through a rough spell as well, and currently hold a 3-8 record, which is good for 14th in the competitive Eastern Conference. Beal has been a subject of multiple NBA Trade Rumors since last season, and that is not a surprise considering the Wizards' poor displays.

The Miami Heat have a strong roster, and adding a player of Bradley Beal's caliber can help them win their 4th NBA Championship and end the 8-year wait for a title.
