Can Bradley Beal to the Warriors happen?
Can we get a buyout and exception signing?
No clue if that’s even feasible but it’s the exact type of move GS could do in tandem with a Kuminga for big deal that makes the Warriors interesting. – 6:02 PM

If I were Bradley Beal and I were getting a buyout, my priority would be Denver’s tax MLE. You’d be leaving money on the table not chasing one of the full MLE slots, but this is more about reasserting your value in the league.
If OKC loses, they make sense for the same reason. – 5:54 PM

I know Bradley Beal has become a bit of a joke lately, but if someone can get him for the freaking mid-level exception after a buyout, I think that’s still tremendous value. – 4:57 PM

If Suns started season today after trading Kevin Durant to Rockets:
1. Start Jalen Green with Devin Booker and have Bradley Beal come off the bench.
2. Start Booker, Green and Beal in a three-guard look.

All the focus is on Kevin Durant right now, but what if Bradley Beal is still on the Suns for next season? We talked about what that backcourt with Devin Booker would look like on the latest @PHNX_Suns pod:

More on this storyline
Yossi Gozlan: Early 2023: The Suns have Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and all their own picks. 2025: The Suns have Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, no starting-level center, few picks, and Bradley Beal. -via x.com / June 22, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander passed all these players in playoff scoring tonight: Tracy McGrady Mychal Thompson Anthony Edwards Archie Clark Jermaine O’Neal Paul Silas Bradley Beal Sean Elliott Cedric Maxwell Kevin Love Rolando Blackman He’s No. 205 all-time now. -via Bluesky / June 16, 2025
In a potential trade with the Suns for Durant, Houston could include guard Jalen Green and his $33.33 million salary for the 2025-26 season. With guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal already on the roster, having failed to trade Beal as the Suns attempted to before the trade deadline, Phoenix has done background on Green to gauge his value around the league in case Green is acquired, and it’s worthwhile to flip him again via trade, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / June 16, 2025
