So, with the Suns officially eliminated from playoff contention, there's already reports that Bradley Beal has a 0% chance to stay in Phoenix. According to Evan Sidery, Phoenix could pull off a historic buyout on Beal's contract, which is worth $104 million over 2 years.

It's unbelievable to think before he arrived in Phoenix, he was an All-Star caliber player averaging 30+ pts per game, he STARTED an All-Star game back in 2021, but when the whispers of him leaving in unrestricted free agency started swirling, the Wizards got desperate, paid him $251 MILLION OVER 5 YEARS with a NO TRADE CLAUSE, and decided to enter in win now mode with him, Porzingis, and Kuzma. But of course, the Wizards didn't make the playoffs and after holding on to him for way too long, Washington blew things up and he was out to Phoenix. Phoenix send out all that was left of their draft capital (4 1st swaps and 6 2nd rounders) to enter in win now mode with KD and Book. But, it's been a massive failure for both Beal and the Suns. Beal's performances have declined significantly, Phoenix doesn't have control of any of their 1st round picks until 2032, and they are still in the 2nd apron. Matt Ishbia and the Suns front office don't have much of a choice. They need to buyout Beal's contract and accept that this trade has been the biggest mistake in their franchise's history. And to be honest, this could top the Garnett/Pierce trade to the Nets as the single worst trade in NBA history
