Suns sign Bradly Beal in huge trade with Washington

The Phoenix Suns sign one of the best scorers in the NBA for next season – Bradley Beal. The Suns acquired the three-time All-Star in a trade from Washington, and in return, the Arizona team sent Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, several second-round draft picks and several more traded picks, as their number will become clear soon.

Thus, Phoenix adds Beal to its superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, and the three will try to bring the championship to the team next season.

Interestingly, however, the Suns currently only have four players with guaranteed contracts for next year – the aforementioned three plus center Deandre Ayton, whose future is still unclear, as there is a serious chance that he too will be among the departures. Together, the four are due $161.5 million in salary next season, which doesn’t leave much financial flexibility for Phoenix management to fill out the rest of the roster.
