The Golden State Warriors were reportedly interested in Bradley Beal earlier this month, only to swing-and-miss on the 3x All-Star who signed with the L.A. Clippers following his buyout with the Phoenix Suns.
Beal was just one of multiple shooting guards that have been linked to the Warriors so far this offseason, but missing out on the 32-year-old may actually be a perfect blessing in disguise for the franchise as they look to build around Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.
Warriors may be better with Podziemski/Melton combo over Beal
Beal made some sense for the Warriors as a third scoring option beyond the veteran duo of Curry and Butler, something they still lack to a degree and particularly if they don't bring back Jonathan Kuminga as a restricted free agent.
