Bradley Beal requested a trade from the Miami he wanted to get traded to the Miami Heat. The NBA star was able to control his trade request since he had a no-trade clause in his contract, but the Heat weren’t able to make a deal happen, so Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns.
“So, my initial favorite was Miami,” Beal wrote in a diary for Andscape. “And so, we call Miami. [Miami president] Pat [Riley] says well I’ll go talk to [owner] Micky [Arison] and figure it out. So he goes, talks to Micky, we go, we hear back [New York] Knicks, Sacramento, Brooklyn a little bit, and then it was Milwaukee and it was one more big team … And that was kind of one of the most difficult things about every trade and every team. And I respect and love every team, but a lot of them just couldn’t do it because the money was just so high.”
