According to reports, Phoenix trades the three-time All-Star to Washington for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and future selections.
According to many sources, the Washington Wizards are reportedly close to completing a deal to send All-Star guard Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. A deal is in the process, according to Beal’s agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports.
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns are exchanging Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, many pick swaps, a group of future second-round selections, and other players with Washington.
The biggest domino, though, was Bradley Beal waiving his no-trade clause in order to be traded to the Suns, according to Bartelstein on Sunday. The fundamental structure of the deal is complete, while there is a potential that it might ultimately involve a third team, primarily to obtain Paul.

Suns finalizing deal to add Bradley Beal in trade with Wizards
Three-time All-Star Bradley Beal has played all ten years of his NBA career in Washington. The 29-year-old guard was taken third overall by the Wizards in the 2012 Draft, and in his 10 seasons with the organization, he has averaged 23.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.
It is the owner Mat Ishbia’s second significant acquisition in Phoenix. A few days after officially taking over the Suns in February, he acquired Kevin Durant for a hefty assemblage of players and first-round selections.
There are three active NBA players that have participated in at least 500 games and average at least 22 points each contest. As of right now, Beal, Durant, and Booker make up the trio in Phoenix. They will make nearly $130 million in total next season, so the Suns will have to pay a hefty wage and tax price to have a chance at the championship.
Beal is beginning the second year of a contract that may run five years and cost him $251 million; the last year is up to him and would pay him $57.1 million. He owes around $207.7 million over the next four years.
Paul, an NBA 75th Anniversary Team member and 12-time All-Star, averaged a career-low 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, and 1.5 steals over 59 games last year. The guard, who is now 37, still has two seasons left on the four-year contract he signed with Phoenix in 2021 after helping the club to the NBA Finals.
