Washington moved on from Beal shortly after making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. However, the team's decision to ink the star to the deal sent waves around the league, but not for the right reasons. Many labeled the team's decision to sign the Florida product to a long-term deal as a mistake, especially considering the fact that the playmaker managed to negotiate a no-trade clause within the deal.
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.
Boston could substantially benefit from acquiring Bradley Beal, who would provide essential scoring during Jayson Tatum's extended injury absence, especially with the team facing financial constraints.
