He’s a player with great upside but any General Manager that trades for him is putting his job on the line. New Orleans, not known for going over the salary cap, may have had enough of him. Zion Williamson might be on the market.He’s still owed over $150 million for the next three years and he has a player option for a fourth season at $57 million. Obviously this means he’s missed 32 games a year. Over the last three years Beal has averaged 50 games played per year. Maybe it’s me but if Bradley Beal is to be traded his value can’t be that high.

That means Denver must go through next season healthy and keep their free agents, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. It’s fashionable to make this year’s champs the favorite next year.They know Butler is getting older, entering next season at thirty-four, and have to wonder how much he has left. As I said previously they want another scorer to complement Jimmy Butler. The Heat are at an interesting point as a team.He’s a teammate every one wants to play with because he makes you better and is a quiet leader that commands respect. He loves his family and as dominant as he is, he’s quite humble. His value system is unheard of in today’s world. Nikola Jokic is one of the most refreshing athletes to come on the sports scene in quite a while.If Miami believes they are good why are rumors they are chasing Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal? If Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus are as good as they played in the earlier series’ then I’m wrong. My money is on the team that lost to Denver. Which Heat team is the real team? The hot shooting team that dispatched Milwaukee, Boston and the Knicks or the role players that lost to Denver.
