If I were to make an uneducated guess on where Bradley Beal goes post-buyout, I would say the Clippers agree to start him over Kris Dunn and that’s where he ends up. – 9:49 PM

Heat could offer Beal about $5 M of non-taxpayer midlevel exception and stay under tax OR as much as $12 M of non-taxpayer midlevel and go over tax and then be hard capped (Riley said they will probably try to avoid tax this season and then go back in, in future years). But – 12:15 PM

For all of you that want the Heat to lean young and have a transitional season, but still want Bradley Beal and/or Damian Lillard … you are what keeps Heat Twitter going. – 1:37 PM

The fan fascination with any random name potentially available to Heat (Beal, etc) confuses me. They’re obviously not positioned to win a title. So why would you want to win 4 more games to climb into play-in (and possibly getting 8th seed) instead of getting lottery pick? To – 12:28 PM

More on this storyline
Gerald Bourguet: With a Bradley Beal buyout being imminent, per a source, I’m anticipating he gives up $13.9M of his remaining $110.8M, which would then clear the way for the Suns to waive-and-stretch the resulting $96.9M over 5 years and duck both tax aprons -via x.com / July 6, 2025
Lopez inking his deal today means the Clippers are using a large portion of the $14.1 million midlevel exception to sign him, which would not leave them much money to sign Bradley Beal (if he works a buyout with the Suns) or another more expensive player. (There’s optimism on both sides that Phoenix and Beal will eventually reach an agreement there, league sources tell The Athletic.) -via New York Times / July 6, 2025
Barry Jackson: Now that the cat is out of the bag, Bradley Beal was the player I was referencing last night when people started pleading for details I wasn’t authorized to offer yet. He’s still “interesting” because he shot a very impressive 49.7 percent (38.6 on threes) while averaging 17 ppg. But Bucks, trying to appease Giannis, could very well be more desperate than other potential suitors like Miami. -via x.com / July 6, 2025
