The Golden State Warriors still haven’t done a single thing in free agency. All of the Warriors' free agency rumors have been hypotheticals. They haven’t made a significant signing yet. They are still waiting on Al Horford’s free agency decision as well as what ends up happening regarding a Jonathan Kuminga sign-and-trade.
Now a recent report has linked the Warriors to a 3x All-Star who could soon become available.
For most of his tenure on the Phoenix Suns, Bradley Beal has been in trade rumors. The only problem is that he has a no-trade clause allowing him to block any trade he doesn’t want.
If the Phoenix Suns buy him out of his contract, however, he would become a free agent. The Suns are heavily considering this as they are building around Devin Booker and don’t see Beal as a part of their long-term future.
John Gambadoro of Phoenix Sports Radio reported that the Warriors are one of the teams interested in signing Beal if he becomes a free agent.
If the Warriors were able to sign Beal to a reasonable contract, he would be the perfect addition to their roster. While many have argued about whether Beal is a real star, he is still damn good.
Last season he averaged 17 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game shooting nearly 50% from the field and 38.6% from three.
The Warriors could use Beal’s scoring and creation. Beal is also only 32 and likely could take his game to another level if put in the right situation.
Competing for a championship alongside Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler could be that perfect situation. If there is a Beal buyout expect the Warriors to be lining up (amongst other suitors) to try and snag him on a team-friendly deal.
