Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal, a top Heat target as 2021 free agency approaches, hasn’t decided whether to accept Washington’s three-year, $111 million extension or what his long-term future holds, an associate said this week.

Agent Mark Bartelstein (who is not the aforementioned associate) said Wednesday there is “nothing new” regarding whether Beal has made a decision.

But if Beal decides to move on from Washington and become a free agent in 2021, the associate — who requested anonymity because he’s not authorized to speak on Beal’s behalf — said he expects the Heat to receive serious consideration.

The associate would not call the Heat or any specific team the favorite if Beal decides to leave Washington, noting other teams also would be considered.

And Beal, 26, will continue to give thought to signing long-term with the Wizards because, as the associate said, he’s loyal by nature, appreciates Washington not only for drafting him but also treating him respectfully and soliciting his opinion throughout this offseason.

The Wizards, at this point, have been given no reason to believe he wants to go elsewhere. And they likely won’t trade him unless they are given that indication.
