LA Clippers depth chart after landing Bradley Beal in blockbuster move

Clippers fans might be the happiest this offseason, as Bradley Beal is LA-bound to play for them. On Wednesday, NBA insider Shams Charania revealed that Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to join the blue and white LA team on a two-year, $11 million deal once he clears waivers.

Many fans and analysts anticipated this after weeks of Beal being rumored to the Clippers. However, now that it has happened, Clippers fans can look forward to having one of the best squads in the Western Conference.

After acquiring John Collins in a blockbuster three-team trade involving the Jazz and the Heat, the Clippers were lacking an All-Star caliber shooting guard in their star-studded lineup. Beal's arrival fills that hole and makes them one of the few teams to have All-Star caliber players at every position.

Let us take a look at the Clippers' depth chart after Bradley Beal joins their ranks.

POS	STARTER	2ND	3RD
Point Guard	James Harden	Kris Dunn
Shooting Guard	Bradley Beal	Bogdan Bogdanovic	James Harden
Small Forward	Derrick Jones Jr.	Bogdan Bogdanovic	Kawhi Leonard
Power Forward	Kawhi Leonard	John Collins	Nicolas Batum
Center	Ivica Zubac	Brook Lopez

Bradley Beal had a decent showing with the Suns last season. He averaged 17.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on 49.7 percent shooting from the field.

Given the Clippers' current roster, Beal is expected to fit in smoothly with his new teammates.

NBA insider reveals Bradley Beal was excited to part ways with the Suns

After breaking the news of Bradley Beal's move to the Clippers, NBA insider Shams Charania revealed that former Suns guard was excited on the thought of parting ways with the Suns and starting a new chapter.

"Beal became extremely excited about the route to part ways after meeting with multiple interested suitors, and Bartelstein then moved forward with the Suns on completing the release Wednesday, opening the path for Beal to start a new chapter in LA," Charania tweeted.

This move has also benefited the Suns greatly as they can now focus on rebuilding around Devin Booker. Beal's departure has allowed the Suns to avoid the first and second aprons. They now have access to more tradeable draft picks in the future and also have the opportunity to utilize the mid-level exception.
