Bradley Beal forms Big 3 with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker following trade to Phoenix Suns.
The Washington Wizards finally moved All-Star guard Bradley Beal after years of rumors.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the Wizards will trade for Beal and send him to the Phoenix Suns.
According to the source, the Wizards will receive Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, several second-round picks, and pick swaps in the trade.
The Los Angeles Clippers are apparently interested in reuniting with the 38-year-old, therefore, the Washington Wizards are anticipated to relocate Paul in a deal.
Beal will play alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and DeAndre Ayton in Phoenix.
With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement aiming to severely limit roster flexibility for teams above the second luxury tax apron ($117 million), this is Phoenix's all-in move for a championship.
The deal was made about a year after the Wizards' $251 million, five-year extension of Beal's contract, which contained a no-trade clause that he had to waive to join Phoenix, was finalized.
Beal's 11-year tenure in Washington is coming to an end, but despite the challenging transition, he still has four years and more than $200 million left on his contract.
