The projected apron is $179.5 million.
Kevin Durant: $47,649,433
Bradley Beal: $46,741,590
Devin Booker: $36,016,200
Deandre Ayton: $32,459,438
Total: $162,866,661
If those four guys are on the Suns, they’re basically guaranteed to go above the second apron. – 5:18 PM

Regardless of how you feel about Bradley Beal’s fit on the Suns, this move was a no-brainer. They were going to cut Chris Paul anyway, so they basically gave up Landry Shamet, 2nd-rounders and pick swaps for a 3-time All-Star. That’s a low-risk, high-reward move you have to make. – 5:16 PM

Important note: over the last 4 of his 5 seasons Bradley Beal counted 5+ assists per game. He’s a willing passer who can create a right play for his teammates. Frank Vogel can use Beal as primer facilitator of the Suns offense next season. #wearethevalley #NBA – 5:15 PM

If you’re a Wizards fan, that underwhelming return for Bradley Beal has to hurt. This is why franchises no longer give out no-trade clauses. – 5:14 PM

I said when the Bradley Beal news broke this week that the package in return would mirror that of the Joe Johnson trade to Brooklyn.
A package of expiring contracts, a first and pick swap.
The Wizards came awfully close to that. – 5:12 PM

I get that the Beal era needed to end in DC. And that the no-trade crippled the Wizards leverage. And that his contract wasn’t great. But that’s the closest thing to giving away a prime All-Star that I’ve seen in a while. – 5:07 PM

My initial instinct is that this is the end of the no-trade clause in the NBA. Beal was already the only player in the league that had one. The Warriors didn’t even give one to Steph. Now this? – 5:05 PM

I remain surprised the Wizards opted for the Suns’ offer over Miami’s, but that no-trade clause for Beal must’ve loomed large there. Now it’s a question of how the Suns round out the rest of their roster, and it feels like a Deandre Ayton trade is their best avenue to do so – 4:46 PM

My questions:
– Who is Suns point guard? Beal? Booker? Ish Smith?
– Ayton gonna get even fewer touches than he usually does… how does that affect what Vogel needs from him as a rim protector? And/or do you just trade him because it’s a lost cost
– who plays 60+ games? – 4:46 PM

The Heat was playing in the NBA Finals a week ago. But the attention has already turned to what’s next for the Heat (see Beal stuff).
Here’s a detailed breakdown of where things stand with the 17 players who ended the season on the Heat’s roster miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 6:58 PM

The Suns trading for Bradley Beal would be crazy.
But it would also make sense for both teams considering how they got here.
Words on that, the money and why it would be so bold: arizonasports.com/story/3526210/… – 6:34 PM

Tommy Sheppard gets basically all of the blame for Bradley Beal’s no trade clause but when the direction from ownership is to retain the franchise star by any means necessary you lose all leverage and Mark Bartelstein took advantage. – 6:15 PM

Was thinking today about my 2019 piece with Beal about Heat: “This organization is by far one of the best run in the league. What you hear from Pat Riley on down, from how coach Spo is one of the best coaches in the league.” miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 5:43 PM

As @TheSteinLine said, Lillard would be Heat preference over Beal. But Lillard simply isn’t ready to ask out of Portland. And if he eventually does & doesn’t beg Blazers to send him only to Miami, Nets in better position than Heat with 11 tradable firsts, including 9 unprotected. – 5:30 PM

Wiz may have to act fast if they want the best deal for Beal. Suns and Heat honing in.
More Harden returning music….

The more 1sts you trade to Wizards to entice them to accept $87 M owed Kyle/Duncan, fewer you have if an orca becomes available. That’s the tradeoff. If a star with interest in Miami becomes available, you need to hope Herro and 1 or 2 ones would suffice then, after getting Beal. – 5:13 PM

Remember, the path to keep the Heat tax bill at a manageable number – particularly 2024, 2025 – is trading Duncan/Lowry for Beal, not Vic/Lowry. If it’s Duncan and Lowry (which requires Wizards to take $87 M guaranteed), you can waive and stretch Vic and have small tax this yr. – 4:59 PM

More on this storyline
Barry Jackson: Spoke to sources close to Suns, Wizards, Bradley Beal… Beal would have been happy going to Heat too… Heat made offer… But Phoenix was more aggressive in pursuing. This was personally very important for new Suns owner Matt Ishbia… Heat hopes Lillard will decide to ask for trade. -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / June 18, 2023
Josh Hart: They didn’t get a single 1st rd pick?? -via Twitter @joshhart / June 18, 2023
The Washington Wizards are finalizing a trade to send three-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for a package expected to include Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, several second-round picks and picks swap, sources told ESPN on Sunday. The deal could take a few days for the full framework to be completed, but Beal is on his way to the Suns to form a new Big 3 with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, sources said. Beal’s agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports confirmed to ESPN that a framework is in place that will land Beal with the Suns. -via ESPN / June 18, 2023
