Suns discussing Bradley Beal buyout amid potential Devin Booker deal

While Devin Booker is nearing a deal to lock him in for two more years with the Suns, the team is reportedly discussing a potential buyout with Bradley Beal.

On Saturday, Suns insider John Gambadoro tweeted that he expects a resolution to the Beal situation "in the next 24-48 hours."

Beal still has two more years and $110.8 million on his deal, which also includes a no-trade clause.

The Suns traded for Beal in June 2023. However, the three-time All-Star has had a disappointing time in Phoenix, averaging 17.6 points over two seasons.

The Suns finished 36-46 last season as they failed to make the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2019-20.

They already made a big move this offseason as they traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a historic seven-team deal.

With Beal possibly the next one to leave, Phoenix looks set to rebuild around Booker, who averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds last season. The new-look Suns squad includes Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and rookie Khaman Maluach, who all arrived in the Durant deal.
