Obviously would be a bummer if Bradley Beal missed the start of the most anticipated Suns season in a while, but I’d hesitate to make any sweeping declarations about it. Taking a prudent approach with a back injury =/= him not wanting to play or load management – 12:22 PM

Tough day for Heat on national TV today amid Beal comments. Kendrick Perkins says Heat should “throw up” about Beal, Lillard, Holliday because “any one of those guys would put them back in contention. Guys wanted to go to Miami! (To be) left with not one of them? It’s crazy.” – 9:49 PM

New for @YahooSports: Bradley Beal couldn’t quite think of how to describe being with the Suns.
Rejuvenated? “Exactly”
The last time a player this good was traded and immediately played with his two best teammates: Ray Allen with Boston in 2008 sports.yahoo.com/rejuvenated-br… – 3:46 PM

SGA on people who think the midrange is dead:
“If you look at it, the most prolific scorers in the NBA and over the years have shot midrangers – Kevin Durant, Kobe, TMac, Devin Booker right now, Bradley Beal, Jimmy Butler – at the end of the day, you just make shots.” – 1:38 PM

For those asking about Bradley Beal and the Heat, the no-trade clause was the issue. The Heat didn’t want to inherit Beal’s no-trade clause and Beal didn’t want to give up his no-trade clause. – 1:34 PM

Heat today on the record confirm that the reason no move was made for Bradley Beal on the trade market this offseason was because of concern about his no-trade clause. That comes in wake of ESPN report of Beal surprise of no Heat pursuit. – 1:29 PM

The big issue for the Heat when Bradley Beal hit the trade market was this — they did not want to give Beal the no-trade clause. Beal wanted to keep that power. And he did in the deal with Phoenix. – 1:25 PM

As we reported in June, the Heat interested Beal. Beal told Marc Spears, in piece today, that his camp called Heat & they discussed… Source confirms what we wrote last month: Heat philosophically opposes acquiring multiyear deals with no trade clauses because hurts flexibility – 1:25 PM

Devin Booker and Bradley Beal know better than most what an elite Frank Vogel defense looks like. They faced one in their first postseason.
I spoke with Booker and Vogel (with more from Beal) about those matchups and what makes Vogel’s defenses special: arizonasports.com/story/3536434/… – 1:07 PM
