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.

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
John Gambadoro: I expect a decision and resolution on Bradley Beal’s situation in the next 24-48 hours. -via x.com / July 6, 2025
Barry Jackson: Suns would like to achieve this and part ways with Bradley Beal. Will Beal give up $14 M to accomplish it? .. Beal to Heat at minimum (or close) would be a possibility if this happens. He still likes Miami, source said; he also likely will have other suitors better positioned to win now -via x.com / July 4, 2025
The Heat will have interest in signing Beal if he can make it to unrestricted free agency. Sources say both Milwaukee and Miami, in fact, would have interest in signing Beal in that scenario. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 4, 2025
