The Phoenix Suns may have traded away Kevin Durant this offseason, but far less has been made of the franchise's ability to also move on from the Bradley Beal experience. Despite having a whopping $110 million owed to him across the next two seasons, the Suns decided to buy out the 32-year-old so they could move into what they hope will be a better era around Devin Booker.
Beal gave the organization back nearly $14 million to get the deal done, but the Suns do now carry his salary on their books for the next five years. That doesn't seem very important now as this team has modest expectations for next season, but it will sting as they try and put the pieces together to contend again down the road.
