On Saturday, Suns insider John Gambadoro tweeted that he expects a resolution to the Beal situation “in the next 24-48 hours.” Beal still has two more years and $110.8 million on his deal, which also includes a no-trade clause. The Suns traded for Beal in June 2023. However, the three-time All-Star has had a disappointing time in Phoenix, averaging 17.6 points over two seasons.The Suns finished 36-46 last season as they failed to make the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2019-20.They already made a big move this offseason as they traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a historic seven-team deal.With Beal possibly the next one to leave, Phoenix looks set to rebuild around Booker, who averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds last season. The new-look Suns squad includes Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and rookie Khaman Maluach, who all arrived in the Durant deal.
