A Bradley Beal buyout feels imminent for the Phoenix Suns. It’s not a move I necessarily suppor t, but if the organization has reached an impasse and sees no other path forward, then my opinion becomes irrelevant. This is the reality now. It’s how they’ve chosen to move. At this point, it’s not a matter of if. It’s when.

Bradley Beal is "open to cooperating" on a potential buyout from his contract with the Phoenix Suns, Forbes' Evan Sidery reported on Friday.

Beal averaged 17.0 points per game on 49.7% shooting in 53 games last season. The three-time All-Star has not played in more than 60 games since suiting up for all 82 in both 2017-18 and 2018-19 in Washington.
