Bradley Beal and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a long-rumored buyout. Upon being bought out, Beal immediately signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. While the Clippers were widely considered the favorite to land Beal, the Minnesota Timberwolves were also reportedly in the mix for Beal. At face value, Beal would perfectly fit the Wolves’ main needs of shot creation and playmaking.
However, missing out on Beal isn’t a bad thing for the Wolves as their young players can develop better, and their overall continuity is a notable advantage. The Wolves already have a well-rounded rotation and are still contenders without Beal.
