Bradley Beal 'Preciation Thread

[Superbone]

I'm counting on trading Beal as an expiring contract for the 2026/27 season. Please tell me it's possible.

Only if he signs off on it. I suppose if he sees the writing on the wall and the Suns tell him they're not going to re-sign him, he'd approve a trade to a destination he approves of. But if not, he'll just wait until the 2027 offseason.

I think there's a real chance he's moved this offseason. We'll see what happens. Ideally the FO finds a new home for KD and then Beal is a bit more receptive to a trade somewhere.

I don't mind him in the super 6th man role but at his salary that's a losing plan long term.

I hope you are right. I don't see a team that would want Beal this offseason for his salary and the limited number of games he plays.

Also, the Suns would likely have to give up a boatload of assets to trade him if they found a team willing to do so.

I'm more worried about a trade partner than the NTC.

If Beal gets to his final season under contract, he will be probably looking for his next contract and a team willing to pay him.

Remember when the Josh Bartlestein connection was seen as an “asset” in this acquisition?

Not sure how you’re counting on this with Beal having a no trade clause.

I'm hoping Beal will be looking towards his next contract and there will be a team interested.
