Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has long been a fan of Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards. Earlier today, news broke that Beal and the Wizards and working together on securing a trade that would send the three-time All-Star away from the only team he has ever played for. Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news on Twitter:
Just In: The Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal will work together to find a trade for the three-time All-Star if the team elects to reset the roster in the near future, league sources tell me and @JoshuaBRobbins.

Shams Charania Names the Milwaukee Bucks as a Potential Trade Partner with the Washington Wizards for Bradley Beal
In the article Charania wrote to expand on the breaking news, he named the Bucks and Miami Heat as two potential trade destinations for Beal:
“It is unclear whether the Wizards will ultimately decide upon a rebuild or if they find an acceptable trade, but sources said both sides are working amicably to find the path forward, with the 2023 NBA Draft looming on June 22. The sources, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter, said the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks are expected to be prominent suitors for Beal if he reaches the market.”
For Beal, the two suitors being Milwaukee and Miami make sense because they are both NBA Championship caliber teams.
