Riley will forever chase the big fish. He's been pretty good at doing that through trades over the years. Heck, he even traded for Bosh and Lebron...when the Heat had space and they were FAs!
I expect that they'll try for Beal, as he might be the best available player they're liking to be able to get. Washington is in a unique situation due to Wall's injury and bloated contract. That team might be willing to do a sign and trade if compensated heavily with picks and young players. I don't regard Beal as some transcendent talent, but he would fit what this team needs on multiple levels.
In my eyes, if the Thunder and Heat were to do a deal, and that returned our draft picks (just speculating here), then we'd have some ammo to go for a Beal trade. Without those picks, we're going to come up short in any bid.

Sounds like a great plan, trade for a player that doesn't fit our timeline to hose a team that we play twice a year.

ThunderBolt wrote:Washington really needs to move on from Beal. He's not going to re-sign there. Even if they hit on their picks and it takes 3 years for them to develop, they'll still be stuck with Walls contract and Beal will be 29. If Miami will take Wall to get Beal, Washington should do that before Miami thinks twice.

If trading CP3 allows Miami to trade for Beal AND contend, it increases CP3's trade value (or at least it decrease his negative trade value).
The Heat needs to find some common ground here. They want to have 5-6 assets (counting the ones they already have) while getting CP3 for scrubs.

The Heat are being stubborn. They want the 21 FA class (2 years away). I think its time to move on from a Heat deal, just keep their picks and see if Minny would do it for Teague and Dieng. Teague could be re-routed at the deadline while Dieng will play out the next two years here in OKC.

Oklahoma City will receive the two most favorable of its 2021 1st round pick, Miami's 2021 1st round pick and Houston's 2021 1st round pick protected for selections 1-4 and Houston will receive the least favorable of these three picks (via Miami to Phoenix to Philadelphia to L.A. Clippers to Oklahoma City; via Oklahoma City's right to swap Oklahoma City or Miami for Houston); if the Houston pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then (i) Oklahoma City will receive the Oklahoma City pick and the Miami pick and (ii) Oklahoma City's swap right and Houston's obligation to Oklahoma City will be extinguished [Miami-New Orleans-Phoenix, 2/19/2015; Philadelphia-Phoenix, 6/21/2018; L.A. Clippers-Philadelphia, 2/6/2019; L.A. Clippers-Oklahoma City, 7/10/2019; Houston-Oklahoma City, 7/16/2019]
