The Philadelphia 76ers pulled off quite the arbitrary move when they willingly handed Paul George a maximum contract last year, only for it to backfire after just one season and then some.

That stands to change now, though.
After two relatively unproductive seasons in Phoenix, the three-time All-Star has now ejected himself from the Suns. As first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Beal and the Suns have agreed to a contract buyout, with the former giving back $13.
