The Miami Heat suffered a heartbreaking loss in the NBA Finals, losing the title to the Denver Nuggets. Jimmy Butler and the Heat played the ?underdog? card perfectly throughout the playoffs, knocking out the first-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the Eastern Conference. But after their Finals loss, the team is looking to revamp the roster, giving fans something to rejoice about.
The injury to Tyler Herro in the first round led the Heat to rely on role players like Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent. However, as the team?s front office looks to potentially land Bradley Beal, the chances of Miami making another deep playoff run will exponentially rise in the future.

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo did an amazing job throughout the playoffs for the Miami Heat. The Heat?s role players too rose to the occasion every other night. However, what seemed to be missing was another reliable scoring option.
Tyler Herro getting sidelined with an injury surely hampered Miami Heat?s chances to win it all. So, that is why the $3 billion worth franchise is looking to add the three-time All-Star, Bradley Beal, to the team?s roster.
According to The Miami Herald, the trade package for Beal offered by the Heat will include veteran point guard Kyle Lowry with either Duncan Robinson or Victor Oladipo. To fill the salary gap, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith may be included in the deal as well.
There haven?t been any discussions of including future draft picks yet. However, to add a lethal scoring option like Beal, it is fair to assume that the Heat would not think twice to add a few picks to sweeten the pot.

Many fans in the comments section believed that adding Beal would help Butler and Adebayo on offense for the Heat. Beal could easily help take the load off and add another threat for teams on defense.
