PHOENIX – Only one game remains for the 2024-2025 Phoenix Suns, as fans rejoice. This past season has had endless injuries and drama surrounding the team, plaguing the franchise, with the source of that stemming from guard Bradley Beal. The three-time All-Star’s hefty contract and no-trade clause has made moving him impossible.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports believes that the Suns could buy out Beal’s contract this offseason. If that were to happen, he could see the Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, and Golden State Warriors all having interest in Beal. Regardless, Gambadoro was adamant that the 31-year-old will not be in Phoenix next year, going on a tangent on “The Burns and Gambo show.”

Gambadoro on Beal’s chances on returning with the Suns:
The relationship between Beal and the fans has soured, with many furious at last night’s regular-season home finale against the San Antonio Spurs having a Beal Bobblehead night. Despite the disdain, the Suns guard stated postgame against the Spurs that he “loves” Phoenix and wants to stay in the Valley.

Gambadoro doesn’t see that happening, and fans on social media don’t want that to happen. If the situation worsens, the franchise might have no other option but to buy out Beal’s contract and move on from the Big 3 experiment.
