Despite having no first-round picks available to move in a trade, the Suns manage to land Bradley Beal to pair with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton.
The Phoenix Suns are finalizing a deal to acquire All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards in exchange for veteran point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Landry Shamet, and multiple second-round draft picks and pick swaps, The Athletic and ESPN reported Sunday, June 18.
Over the weekend, reports indicated the Beal sweepstakes were down to the Suns and the Miami Heat. Beal, who has long stood firm about wanting to make things work in Washington, has to waive the NBA’s only no-trade clause in order to approve the deal. Beal, who turns 30 this month, played in just 50 games last season. He averaged 23.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game and shot 36.5% from three-point range. Injuries and multiple stays on the COVID-19 reserve list have limited Beal to just 90 games over the past two seasons.
Paul, 38, averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals across 59 starts for the Suns in 2022-23. He has career averages of 17.9 points, 9.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.1 steals in 1,214 games with the New Orleans Hornets , Clippers , Houston Rockets , Oklahoma City Thunder , and Suns .
