, according to Evan Sidery, a well-known NBA reporter from Forbes, Suns guard Bradley Beal is willing to cooperate with the team to complete the buyout operation. This move will allow him to give up the guaranteed amount of up to $ 13 million in the original contract, thus accelerating the "peaceful breakup" with the Phoenix Suns.

Currently, Beal still has a two-year super contract worth $ 110 million with the Suns, and the contract includes a complete trade veto , which means that even if the Suns want to trade him, they face a very high threshold. Under the current heavy salary structure, the Suns hope to stop the loss as soon as possible through a buyout, and Beal's willingness to sacrifice some of his interests has greatly increased the possibility of success.

According to the NBA's new labor agreement, if the two sides reach a buyout agreement, the Suns will share Bill's salary after the buyout at a rate of $ 18 million per year over the next five years . This is undoubtedly an effective way for the Suns, who are struggling to avoid taxes and rebuild, to reduce expenses and free up salary space.

Regarding Bill's next stop, Jake Fischer, a reporter from The Stein Line, revealed that the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks are the two teams that are most actively contacting him. The Heat had preliminary negotiations with the Suns in the past week, and although they ultimately failed, Bill's willingness to buy out has turned the situation around.

At the same time, it is reported that Bill himself has expressed interest in the Bucks many times during the 2024-25 season . If he successfully joins Milwaukee and joins forces with "Greek Freak" Giannis Antetokounmpo, it will undoubtedly make the Bucks more threatening in the Eastern Conference competition.

Since acquiring Bill through a trade during the offseason last year, the Suns' Big Three combination (Durant + Booker + Bill) has failed to perform as expected. At the same time, the salaries of the three have occupied a huge amount of salary cap space, severely limiting the team's operational flexibility.

If Bill completes the buyout and leaves the team, the Suns will get rid of the heavy burden of the second rich line and free up a certain amount of operating space, which is expected to speed up the team's reconstruction or reorganization of the lineup.

If Beal successfully buys out and leaves the team, he will not only be able to go to his favorite team to compete for the championship, but the Suns can also reasonably avoid the pressure of luxury tax and restart the lineup planning. For both parties, this is a relatively decent solution. In the next few days, whether Beal officially decides to give up $13 million will become a major focus of the offseason market.
