PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a buyout of guard Bradley Beal, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Beal will reportedly join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option after he clears waivers.
The decision for Beal to take a $13.9 million cut on his buyout allows the Suns to waive and stretch the amount left on Beal’s contract — worth $110 million over two more years — to be paid out over five years (double the length of the contract, plus one year).
