The Phoenix Suns were eliminated in the second round this year, despite the presence of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant on the roster. One of the biggest issues for the team was their lack of consistent scoring without their two stars, and it seems as though the team has addressed this issue.
A recent report from Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that the Phoenix Suns have acquired star Bradley Beal in a trade with the Washington Wizards. They only had to give up Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and second-round picks, as Beal’s no-trade clause ensured that he had a lot of control over where he went and what was send out for him.
“The Washington Wizards are finalizing a trade to send All-Star G Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns, sources tell ESPN. Beal’s waiving his no-trade to form a new Big 3 with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Teams are still working thru framework, but Beal is headed to Suns.”
“Suns are expected to send Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and pick swaps to Wizards, sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has no available first-rounders to include in trade. Beal’s no-trade limited Wizards’ marketplace. Deal could take a few days to be finalized.”

There’s no doubt that this deal changes the landscape of the Western Conference. The Phoenix Suns are now clearly a team that is in the same tier as heavyweights such as the Denver Nuggets, and it’ll be interesting to see how they do next year.
This season, Bradley Beal averaged 23.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 5.4 APG for the Washington Wizards while shooting 36.5% from 3PT range. He will clearly be a difference-maker for the Phoenix Suns.
