The Suns are one of two finalists that are in serious trade talks for Bradley Beal this summer and Mat Ishbia is doing everything in his power to add more scoring to Devin Booker and Kevin Durant this summer.
There have been reports as well with Adrian Wojnarowski that Beal and the Wizards front office are intending to work together this summer to settle on a new home for Beal.
The Wizards signed Beal to a supermax extension that would definitely put the Suns in an even more financial loop if they were to trade for Beal, but most likely one of Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul, or potentially both would have to be at the start of the talks for it to get done.

The Suns are looking to improve the roster around Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in hopes of the team capturing their first-ever NBA championship.
