Over the past two seasons, the Phoenix Suns placed their championship hopes in the hands of their superstar trio, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. However, despite the hype and talent, the combination repeatedly fell short of delivering a title.

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins believes that Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal can still play at a high level despite his recent woes.

Bradley Beal's time with the Phoenix Suns may be coming to an end soon, but he will have opportunities elsewhere. According to Marc Stein, Beal expects the Suns to buy him out and is "actively exploring" his options in free agency.

The report comes as a blow to rivals like the Lakers and Warriors — two teams had been linked to Beal for a while, per NBA Insider Jake Fischer. Both franchises were reportedly monitoring Beal’s situation closely, hoping he could provide an extra scoring punch on the perimeter.

As Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal appears to be on the verge of free agency through a contract buyout, it sounds like his next destination will influence the future of other veteran players.
