The ongoing Bradley Beal saga has finally come to an end. Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the 32-year-old shooting guard has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $11 million deal that includes a player option.
Phoenix now narrowly ducks the luxury tax after waiving and stretching Beal's contract. To facilitate the buyout, Beal agreed to reduce his salary by roughly $14 million. Thus, instead of two seasons and $110.7 million remaining, Beal's remaining contract total decreased to $96.9 million. Consequently, Beal will count against the Suns' salary cap $19.
