I've seen it. I'd like to see the comment in context.
I think it was in AZ Republic. Heard about the article in two different shows. McManus was the author. Had quotes from Ishbia, Booker, KD, Beal, among others. I guess it was quite the hot article in Suns circles.

The comment attributed to Bradley Beal is from an ESPN article. See below.

Tim MacMahon Mar 14, 2025, 07:00 AM ET, ESPN:

Nevertheless, Beal admits that he has felt disrespected at times by the Suns this season.

"I'm human, so I have to really take a step back and just kind of look at the big picture," Beal told ESPN. "And my biggest thing is when I came here I want to win. I've scored 30 points a game. I've been an All-Star. I've been All-NBA. I want to win. That's always been my label -- I haven't won anything. So whatever that looks like for the team, whether that's me coming up the bench, whether it's me starting, whether it's me, whatever it is, I'm going to do it. Do I agree with it? Hell, no, but I'm not going to be that guy.

"I enjoy the game, man. This game is fun. I try not to let nobody take the joy out of it for me. It's very hard. It's hard. We're all human beings, man. We have every right to shut down. We have every right to question what's going on. You have every right to say, 'Why me?' But I feel like that just drags you down a little bit more than you need. I'm still playing in the NBA, I still have the best job in the world, and I still have my no-trade clause. So I'm smiling every day."

It's amazing what happens when the Suns hit shots.

It's refreshing to see the Suns play defense.

Here we go one minute of KD iso and bad passes

The Suns played well in the 2nd quarter without Durant.
