Report: ‘There Might Be A Team Or Two’ Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to NBA insider John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7, “there might be a team or two” interested in trading for Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal. 

A three-time All-Star, Beal will make $53.7 million next season. He has a player option worth $57.1 million for the 2026-27 season. 

Beal controls his future because he has a no-trade clause in his contract. 

There are rumblings about one or two teams that may be willing to trade for Bradley Beal, per @Gambo987

The Suns acquired Beal from the Washington Wizards in 2023. Beal has appeared in 106 games with Phoenix. He’s averaging 17.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists. 

Beal turns 32 on June 28. He has career averages of 21.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 801 games with the Wizards and Suns. 

The Minnesota Timberwolves swept the Suns in the first round of the 2024 playoffs. Phoenix was so bad this year that the team didn’t even make the play-in tournament despite having Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.  

The Suns hired Frank Vogel in 2023 and fired him in 2024. Mike Budenholzer was hired in 2024 and fired in 2025. 

Phoenix hired Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott. Hopefully, Ott doesn’t get fired after one season like Budenholzer and Vogel.

Since making the NBA Finals in 2021, the Suns haven’t even been back to the conference finals.

The Houston Rockets agreed to acquire Durant on Sunday. The Suns are acquiring Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in this year’s draft and five second-round picks.
