The Miami Heat were wise to sidestep the Bradley Beal saga, which finally resolved itself Wednesday with him reaching a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns and agreeing to join the Los Angeles Clippers, as ESPN's Shams Charania reported. There was a time in which Beal might've been a realistic candidate to help with the Heat's offensive issues, but that clearly wasn't now.
What the Heat really don't need, though, is to create the NBA's next disaster contract with Tyler Herro. An offense-only, score-first guard like Beal, Herro has not and will not transform this team, much the same way Beal couldn't lay the foundation for the Washington Wizards or complete the hastily assembled championship puzzle for the Suns.
