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.
The deal could take a few days to be completed, but Beal is on his way to the Suns to form a new Big 3 with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, sources said.
One of the reasons that the deal could take a few days to complete will be to allow the Wizards to field offers on widening the two-team trade to a three-team trade to give Paul the chance to land with a contender, sources told ESPN.
Without a trade partner for Paul, the possibility exists of the Wizards and Paul discussing a contract buyout that would allow him to become a free agent.
Beal’s agent, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports, confirmed to ESPN that a framework is in place that will land Beal with the Suns.
“This was an extremely complicated process with so many different hurdles to get through, and [Wizards owner] Ted Leonsis and [Wizards president] Michael Winger were unbelievable partners in making this happen,” Bartelstein told ESPN.
“From the day that Ted drafted Brad he has been by our side along with [former general managers] Ernie Grunfeld and Tommy Sheppard.
They’ve always had Brad’s back in every way and now we have experienced the exact same thing with Ted and Michael Winger. We are extremely grateful.”
