Suns Mull Beal Buyout After Heat Talks Collapse

The Phoenix Suns are weighing a buyout of Bradley Beal's contract, which has two years and $110 million left, after trade talks with the Miami Heat fell through due to his no-trade clause. If a buyout occurs, the Suns could stretch Beal's remaining salary over five years for significant cap relief. The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are reported to have interest in Beal should he become a free agent. Beal, a three-time All-Star, played only 53 games last season due to injuries, which contributed to the Suns missing the playoffs. The Suns have already made major changes, including trading Kevin Durant and overhauling their front office, as they look to rebuild around Devin Booker. The outcome is being closely watched ahead of the July 6 NBA free agency period.
