Wizards and Hawks were the only teams willing to take on Beal's contract. The Wizards plan might be a 2025-26 Beal deadline deal, something Beal would have to approve of before there were any serious negotiations.

Suns get Kawhi Leonard, give up a 2025 pick and Beal to do it. Clippers move Bogdan and Eubanks to get Jordan Poole, Khris Middleton, Saddiq Bey. 2031 pick would be added with a small protection like top 3 or top 6.
