Beal, the three -time star of the star shooting, accepted a contract repurchase with the Suns, and ESPN reported on Wednesday that his plan was to join the Los Angeles clippers on a contract of $ 11 million over two years for next season.

The agreement would have a player option for Beal, which could open the way to him to be a highly sought -after free agent in 2026 if he wishes to withdraw from his agreement.

Beal will join a clippers team that already sports Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Ivica Zubac and more.

Beal’s mandate in Phoenix was disappointing to say the least. This is why the Suns granted him permission to speak with teams interested in potential trade. But after this process in recent weeks, the two parties have agreed to allow Beal to go elsewhere.

Teams like The Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers continued Beal, by ESPN. There would have been conversations with his performance in recent weeks.

As part of the acquisition, the report indicates that Beal will give the Suns $ 13.9 million out of the remaining $ 110 million in the last two years of its franchise pact. The Suns will probably not strike their books with this money remaining in the next two seasons, rather extrapolation over a few years.
