A Bradley Beal buyout feels imminent for the Phoenix Suns. It’s not a move I necessarily support, but if the organization has reached an impasse and sees no other path forward, then my opinion becomes irrelevant. This is the reality now. It’s how they’ve chosen to move.
At this point, it’s not a matter of if. It’s when.
And that shifts the conversation to the numbers. Will the Suns stretch a $97 million settlement over five years? That would place roughly $22 million in dead money on the books annually through 2029–30.
