Bradley Beal’s office with Phoenix Suns is at an end, and he is already attending a rival at the Western Conference.
Beal, the three-time all-star shooting guard, accepted a contract purchase with Suns, and ESPN reported on Wednesday that his plan is to attend the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year-old, $ 11 million deal for next season.
The deal allegedly has a player setting for Beal, which could clear the way for him to be a highly sought -after free agent in 2026 if he wants to opt out of his appointment.

Beal’s office in Phoenix was, to say the least, disappointing. That is why Suns gave him permission to talk to teams interested in a potential trade. But after this process in the last few weeks, both sides agreed on a buyout to allow Beal to go somewhere else.
Teams like Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Laker’s persecuted Beal, per. Espn. Reportedly, there were conversations with his representation for the past few weeks.
As part of the buyout, the report said Beal will give Suns $ 13.9 million of the $ 110 million left over the last two years of his covenant back to the franchise. Suns probably won’t hit their books with the remaining money in the next two seasons that pretty much extrapolate them over a few years.
