"Landing a premiere talent, who proved to be one of the most dynamic scorers in the NBA at his peak seemed like a can't lose situation for the Clippers, especially considering the discounted price they landed him at. Beal joined the Western Conference contenders with the chance to not only prove he had plenty left in the tank, but that the Suns could be to blame for his career falling off the rails over the last few season."
"However, since joining the Clippers, Beal's struggles are putting him position to the point that he no longer can beat the allegations of decline. Averaging 8.2 points, 1.7 assists and 0.8 rebounds, the former Wizard is being pinned as one of the major reasons for the Clippers early struggles to start the year. Between his offensive woes and underwhelming defensive play, the Florida product is once again being viewed as the cause for another team's failure to live up to expectations."
The Los Angeles Clippers added John Collins, Brook Lopez, and Bradley Beal to position themselves as Western Conference contenders. Beal joined after a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns at a discounted price and arrived with expectations to revive his scoring and prove previous declines were due to fit rather than injury. At 32, Beal has instead struggled, averaging 8.2 points, 1.7 assists and 0.8 rebounds, and drawing criticism for offensive woes and underwhelming defense. Those struggles have intensified calls for roster changes and trade discussions, with a potential return to Washington presented as a possible route to regain form.
