Obviously “if they stay healthy” is always in play where the Clippers are concerned, but man, if they get Beal, that team is really good. Probably a hair below the Rockets and Nuggets as Thunder challengers, but above the Lakers, Warriors and Wolves imo. – 1:27 PM

Definitely seems like Bradley Beal to the Clippers as a likely move after the Clippers sent Norman Powell to Miami and picked up John Collins – 12:15 PM

Clippers moving like a team who knows they’re getting Bradley Beal if he’s bought out, and/or will use what’s left below apron for Chris Paul reunion. – 12:06 PM

Well, we don’t need to worry about another Beal pursuit/non pursuit. Miami was on his list, per associate. Makes sense for neither party now. Though 3 national insiders spoke of aggressive Heat pursuit coming, my sense is he had better $/role options potentially elsewhere – 11:47 AM

I don’t know the future for Bradley Beal, but the Lakers could give him a two-year minimum contract (player option on 2nd year, which is semi-standard for a name vet taking a “below market deal”), after waiving Shake, land just below the 1st apron – 11:41 PM

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

Bradley Beal is actively exploring his options with other teams in anticipation of a Suns buyout, league sources tell @TheSteinLine.
There will be considerable interest in Beal once he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

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

More on this storyline
Beal understands that because the money has dried up on the free-agent market, he is unlikely to make back the $13.8 million he would be giving up right away. His ideal move could be to sign a two-year contract with a player option on the second season, allowing him to re-enter the market in 2026 to sign for a larger number. -via New York Times / July 8, 2025
PHNX Suns: Brian Gregory on his view of Bradley Beal and the Suns possibly parting ways: “Well, my view of Brad will never change. And I appreciate that question, but again, with negotiations and contract stuff, we just don’t talk about the players.” -via Bluesky / July 8, 2025
