Shams Charania REVEALS Why Beal Buyout Stalled, Says Devin Booker “Bought In” To Suns’ Future
out here at summer league. I would introduce the man, but y’all already know who it is on your timeline and on your TV screen. Shams Bradley Beal is the big talk of Phoenix right now after the KD trade. A lot of fans are wondering why is a resolution taking so long? So, I’m going to ask why is a resolution taking so long? It’s complicated, right? Because Bradley Beal has two years almost $110 million left on his contract. So, he’d have to buy out of about $14 million in order for the Suns to stretch his deal. And so those are complicated conversations to have from him, his representatives, the Suns themselves. And so how do you land on a buyout? And then also Brad Leil came to the Suns just two years ago after a long time he spent Washington. So finding his next spot, he also has to be comfortable in figuring out where is he going to spend the next phase of his career. So I think what we’re seeing right now play out is a veteran player who needs to be 100% sure where he’s going to go, what the fit’s going to look like. and the Suns, if you’re going to get him to buy out, you want it to be at the number that gets you out of both aprons, gives you obviously hundreds of millions of savings in in in terms of the cap. Um, and then you would also have access to part of the mid-level exception if you were to wave the session. So, there are a lot of dominoes, a lot of business paperwork stuff that needs to take place before that. You’re a busy man, so I won’t keep you for too long. One more question. I know you like to report, but I know you love ball, too. A lot of people are out on the Sun’s future. They’re trying to retool, not rebuild. Do you feel like they’re screwed or do you feel like there’s a path for them to get back into contention sooner rather than later? I contention this upcoming season for a championship is tough to see. But that doesn’t mean this is not going to be a scrappy team in perspective of playoff contention playing uh as well. This is a scrappy group I think that they’re trying to put together. You think about you get rid of Kevin Durant in that trade. But since that point, they’ve gotten Jaylen Green, Dylan Brook, Kamal Malawatch, Mark Williams, Rashir Fleming. Um they they they’ve made moves to bring in more bodies, obviously, a lot of youth. And so you’re seeing a team kind of change its direction from a veteran laden team to a team that’s more scrappy, a younger team. And Booker himself committing to that deal 2 years 145. I’m I’m told he’s been working out with players on the Suns, the young players on the Suns over the last week, two weeks. So he’s like fully immersed himself with this team, with Jaylen Green, with Dylan Brooks, and the whole Phoenix Suns team flew out to Vegas to be a part of his moment. So I think it speaks a lot to the camaraderie. So I don’t know if it leads to better results. I think from a field perspective there will be I think a better field they’re hoping around this
Shams Charania joins PHNX Suns to reveal why a resolution between the Phoenix Suns and Bradley Beal regarding a potential buyout is taking so long, and also reveals that Devin Booker is more than bought in on the future of the franchise following their massive Kevin Durant trade that change their trajectory to a younger core with Jalen Green, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea and Dillon Brooks.

That isn't Shams, that's Pauly D
Surprised that Shams didnt touch on this but it sounds like the Suns need to pay Beal 25% upfront for next season date for this is 16th July – so like 13.4 million dollars – so does this mean – the Suns need less of a Discount from Brad to get under the 15% dead money ? or will Brad give us a discount equal to what he gets from his next team ? This is starting to get real confusing……Looks like Suns waiting for this date by the sounds.
Beale isn't being bought out….their gonna end up trading him for Lebron ….as i been telling yall the whole season… when the trade goes down, hopefully, i get acknowledged for my prediction….where you heard it from first.
Beal was imminently being traded. Beal is imminently being bought out. Y'all are nothing but click bait. 🤦🏻♂️
Send Beal home and wait till next yr to cut him .we have to pay him no matter so let him no he’s staying hone next year and maybe stay home 2 years ..but ur not comeing back ur home or take a buy out now
goat
Beal worth about $15 mil per season at this point but getting him at $5 mil is a steal and that’s why teams wants him just Ayton did
Clickbait garbage
You should turn your hat around act like an adult professional
You can say he holds the cards until the team just says f it and tells him to stay away (which is probably better than stretching his contract over 5 years) He’ll get paid but that’ll be the last time Beal is on any deal other than the minimum especially if he actually does just sit out and collect checks.
Someone said he will be waived 24-48 hours later. And now he still here😂
Keep him and let him ride the bench make it so his value is low. Make him ask for a trade. Make it unbearable to stay
Get off Beals salary ASAP. Hell, Ishbia has no problem paying the taxes, so why not just cut Beal outright, take the tax hit this year and start fresh next summer??
LA Clippers simple 📈
Hey VB #1, your hats on indoors and on backwards, plus your face has stubble. Take a good, long look at Shams. And what is this with black and white tees? A neutral, collared sport shirt speaks volume.
Pay his ass to stay home it's embarrassing it will humble him he can go help another team if he wants to be an off the bench role player but that's about it he will have to be a Jae Crowder type player but he is being a headache and no team is gonna even want him if he keeps it up
P.T.O Beal don't give AF about helping the Suns. Let's get real here.
Beal will Goto clippers. It’s win win for him. He made phoenix home and LA is only 45 minute flight away
You guys forgot suns missed the playoffs with Durant book and Beal. We are so much better as a team now. I'm back in.
