Over the past two seasons, the Phoenix Suns placed their championship hopes in the hands of their superstar trio, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. However, despite the hype and talent, the combination repeatedly fell short of delivering a title.

The basketball gods might be shining on the Los Angeles Lakers again. Lakers exceptionalism is very much real.

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins believes that Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal can still play at a high level despite his recent woes.

Bradley Beal's time with the Phoenix Suns may be coming to an end soon, but he will have opportunities elsewhere. According to Marc Stein, Beal expects the Suns to buy him out and is "actively exploring" his options in free agency.

Suns insider John Gambadoro was the one who originally linked the Warriors to Beal, listing them as one of the top teams interested in signing the former All-Star after a buyout situation. Those circumstances are ones that Beal is already preparing for.

While all signs point to the 2025-26 campaign being his final season, which he hinted at in a recent interview with Jemele Hill, Chris Paul could join the Clippers for a reunion. Teams such as the Bucks and Lakers have also been linked to Paul, while the Suns and Clippers rose to the top as favorites, per ClutchPoints' Brett Sigel.

A report from NBC Sports points strongly toward the Clippers as the likely destination for Bradley Beal if the buyout is finalized.
