Suns getting a lot of calls on Deandre Ayton since Bradley Beal trade
The Phoenix Suns have received trade interest in Deandre Ayton since they acquired Bradley Beal. “We’ll see if he’s going to be there. I do think one thing that has happened since this trade is Phoenix has been getting a lot of calls on Deandre Ayton in the last 12 to 18 hours,” Shams Charania said on the Pat McAfee Show. “Teams seeing if now Deandre Ayton is a little bit more attainable. We’ll see if he’s back on the team next year.”

The more I think about it, as the Suns roster stands right now, considering the inevitable season-long usage rate on their superstars, pretty sure someone’s gonna either get worn down or hurt by the playoffs. They absolutely need to trade Ayton for some pieces – 2:41 PM

One thing on Draymond Green: A sign-and-trade would hard-cap the Suns at $169M, which means they could not go over that line. They’re already at $131M between Booker, Beal and KD alone. So between Dray needing to take a discount AND still work out the S&T math…good luck w/ that – 12:44 PM

The new NBA CBA is designed to discourage and eventually prevent what the Suns are doing with Beal. But those restrictions don’t start til July and more seriously until after the end of the 2023-24 season. It will be fascinating to see how teams adapt – 1:41 AM

Even though Bradley Beal waived his no-trade clause to allow the trade to the Phoenix Suns, the no-trade clause remains in his contract.
Unless he agreed to remove it as part of the trade, Beal will continue to have veto power over any trade for the duration of his contract. – 11:32 PM

Giving Frank Vogel Booker, Durant and Beal is the ultimate “the offense is covered, you’re getting the big bucks to figure out defense” setup. (And there will in fact be a lot of defense to figure out.) AK – 5:38 PM

One thing we said on the episode we pulled, the Heat weren’t going to negotiate against themselves. They made an offer to Washington, and that was it. Ishbia, like with KD, was aggressive and got Beal. Heat still have assets to make a move. Damian Lillard is the hope. – 5:28 PM

With the structure of a deal in place to send the Wizards’ Bradley Beal to Phoenix for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet and multiple 2nd round picks, the possibility is open for a third team to get involved to find a home for Chris Paul, per sources. – 5:28 PM

Similar to the Rui Hachimura trade, did the Wizards pull the Bradley Beal trigger too early?
Obviously the decision was made to move on but could have maybe gotten a first round pick sometime before the trade deadline? – 5:28 PM

If the Wizards had just let Bradley Beal walk a year ago, they could’ve tried to tank for Wemby and had no long-term money on the books.
Now they have to pay Chris Paul $25 million to go away and owe Landry Shamet three years of money… for some 2nd round picks and fake swaps. – 5:23 PM

Regardless of how you feel about Bradley Beal’s fit on the Suns, this move was a no-brainer. They were going to cut Chris Paul anyway, so they basically gave up Landry Shamet, 2nd-rounders and pick swaps for a 3-time All-Star. That’s a low-risk, high-reward move you have to make. – 5:16 PM

Important note: over the last 4 of his 5 seasons Bradley Beal counted 5+ assists per game. He’s a willing passer who can create a right play for his teammates. Frank Vogel can use Beal as primer facilitator of the Suns offense next season. #wearethevalley #NBA – 5:15 PM

I said when the Bradley Beal news broke this week that the package in return would mirror that of the Joe Johnson trade to Brooklyn.
A package of expiring contracts, a first and pick swap.

More on this storyline
The Pat McAfee Show: “Since the Bradley Beal trade the Suns have gotten a lot of calls on Deandre Ayton” @Shams Charania #PMSLive -via Twitter / June 19, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: In addition to Bradley Beal and Jordan Goodwin, the Wizards are including F Isaiah Todd in trade with the Suns. Todd – the 31st pick in 2021 – has mostly played with Wizards’ G-League affiliate the past two seasons. His $1.8M contract is guaranteed for 2023-2024. -via Twitter @wojespn / June 19, 2023
John Gambadoro: Other teams that I have spoken too are just floored that the Suns got Beal for salary dump – one said it was Insane what the Wizards just did. They can’t understand why Washington did not do what Brooklyn did with KD and just wait it out for a better deal. -via Twitter / June 19, 2023
The Celtics have no interest in an Ayton deal per a league source due to his pricy contract so any scenario that involves Brogdon going to Phoenix now is dead without a third team getting involved. Phoenix could involve moving Ayton elsewhere but don’t look for Boston to get involved unless Ayton’s going to a different team. -via Booth Newspapers / June 19, 2023
Durant, Booker, Beal and Ayton are due more than $161 million dollars this upcoming 2023-24 season with the expected salary cap at $134 million and the luxury tax threshold at $165 million. Teams that go $17.5 million over the second tax apron can’t use taxpayer mid-level exceptions, can’t sign buyout players and take back more money in trades. -via Arizona Republic / June 18, 2023
